Reason for this is that cpu time accounting usually only happens from
interrupt context, but acct_update_integrals gets also called from
process context with interrupts enabled.
So in acct_update_integrals we may end up with the following scenario:
Between reading tsk->stime/tsk->utime and tsk->acct_timexpd an interrupt
happens which updates accouting values. This causes acct_timexpd to be
greater than the former stime + utime. The subsequent calculation of
dtime = cputime_sub(time, tsk->acct_timexpd);
will be negative and the division performed by
cputime_to_jiffies(dtime)
will generate an exception since the result won't fit into a 32 bit
register.
In order to fix this just always disable interrupts while accessing any
of the accounting values.
