I see a couple of problems with this patch:

- please Cc: all scheduler maintainers to scheduler patches.

- please fix the title of the patch: have a look at 'git log 
  kernel/sched/cpuacct.c' how recent titles to that code look like.

- when referring to functions in changelogs, please add '()' to separate them from 
  variable and other names. I.e. it's "cpuacct_stats_show()".

Horrible taste: in what universe is that linebreak an improvement to the code?

> +		val[CPUACCT_STAT_USER]   += kcpustat->cpustat[CPUTIME_USER];

Also, please put a newline between variable definitions and the first 
non-definition C statement...

Also, if you introduce a helper variable to shorten the code, you might as well 
introduce one for the cpustat array itself, and skip the whole 'kcpustat->' 
repetition ...

Thanks,
