    sched, timer: Use the atomic task_cputime in thread_group_cputimer · 71107445
    Jason Low authored
    Recent optimizations were made to thread_group_cputimer to improve its
    scalability by keeping track of cputime stats without a lock. However,
    the values were open coded to the structure, causing them to be at
    a different abstraction level from the regular task_cputime structure.
    Furthermore, any subsequent similar optimizations would not be able to
    share the new code, since they are specific to thread_group_cputimer.
    
    This patch adds the new task_cputime_atomic data structure (introduced in
    the previous patch in the series) to thread_group_cputimer for keeping
    track of the cputime atomically, which also helps generalize the code.
