Linus Torvalds a53fcff8fc Merge tag 'timers-nohz-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull NOHZ updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - Fix a long standing TOCTOU in get_cpu_sleep_time_us()

 - Make the CPU offline NOHZ handling more robust by disabling NOHZ on
   the outgoing CPU early instead of creating unneeded state which needs
   to be undone.

 - Unify idle CPU time accounting instead of having two different
   accounting mechanisms. These two different mechanisms are not really
   independent, but the different properties can in the worst case cause
   that gloabl idle time can be observed going backwards.

 - Consolidate the idle/iowait time retrieval interfaces instead of
   converting back and forth between them.

 - Make idle interrupt time accounting more robust. The original code
   assumes that interrupt time accouting is enabled and therefore stops
   elapsing idle time while an interrupt is handled in NOHZ dyntick
   state. That assumption is not correct as interrupt time accounting
   can be disabled at compile and runtime.

 - Fix an accounting error between dyntick idle time and dyntick idle
   steal time. The stolen time is not accounted and therefore idle time
   becomes inaccurate. The stolen time is now accounted after the fact
   as there is no way to predict the steal time upfront.

* tag 'timers-nohz-2026-06-13' of gitolite.kernel.org:pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/cputime: Handle dyntick-idle steal time correctly
  sched/cputime: Handle idle irqtime gracefully
  sched/cputime: Provide get_cpu_[idle|iowait]_time_us() off-case
  tick/sched: Consolidate idle time fetching APIs
  tick/sched: Account tickless idle cputime only when tick is stopped
  tick/sched: Remove unused fields
  tick/sched: Move dyntick-idle cputime accounting to cputime code
  tick/sched: Remove nohz disabled special case in cputime fetch
  tick/sched: Unify idle cputime accounting
  s390/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle
  powerpc/time: Prepare to stop elapsing in dynticks-idle
  sched/cputime: Correctly support generic vtime idle time
  sched/cputime: Remove superfluous and error prone kcpustat_field() parameter
  sched/idle: Handle offlining first in idle loop
  tick/sched: Fix TOCTOU in nohz idle time fetch
