thread_group_cputimer() is a complete misnomer. The function does two things: - For arming process wide timers it makes sure that the atomic time storage is up to date. If no cpu timer is armed yet, then the atomic time storage is not updated by the scheduler for performance reasons. In that case a full summing up of all threads needs to be done and the update needs to be enabled. - Samples the current time into the caller supplied storage. Rename it to thread_group_start_cputime(), make it static and fixup the callsite.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
