#     sched: psi: fix bogus pressure spikes from aggregation race
#     
#     Brandon reports sporadic, non-sensical spikes in cumulative pressure
#     time (total=) when reading cpu.pressure at a high rate. This is due to
#     a race condition between reader aggregation and tasks changing states.
#     
#     While it affects all states and all resources captured by PSI, in
#     practice it most likely triggers with CPU pressure, since scheduling
#     events are so frequent compared to other resource events.
#     
#     The race context is the live snooping of ongoing stalls during a
#     pressure read. The read aggregates per-cpu records for stalls that
#     have concluded, but will also incorporate ad-hoc the duration of any
#     active state that hasn't been recorded yet. This is important to get
#     timely measurements of ongoing stalls. Those ad-hoc samples are
#     calculated on-the-fly up to the current time on that CPU; since the
#     stall hasn't concluded, it's expected that this is the minimum amount
#     of stall time that will enter the per-cpu records once it does.
#     
#     The problem is that the path that concludes the state uses a CPU clock
#     read that is not synchronized against aggregators; the clock is read
#     outside of the seqlock protection. This allows aggregators to race and
#     snoop a stall with a longer duration than will actually be recorded.
#     
#     With the recorded stall time being less than the last snapshot
#     remembered by the aggregator, a subsequent sample will underflow and
#     observe a bogus delta value, resulting in an erratic jump in pressure.
#     
#     Fix this by moving the clock read of the state change into the seqlock
#     protection. This ensures no aggregation can snoop live stalls past the
#     time that's recorded when the state concludes.
