 From park is not allowed to sleep so can't do sync from there. It might 
have been my question which put you on a wrong path, sorry. Now I think 
question remains what happens if the ping worker happens to be sampling 
GuC state as GuC is being reset? Do you need some sort of a lock to 
protect that, or make sure worker skips if reset in progress?

Don't know, was just asking.

Looking at it now again, resetting prev_total looks correct to me if it 
tracks rec->total_runtime which is also reset by GuC. 
Engine->stats.total_gt_clks is then purely software managed state which 
you only keep adding to. Yes looks fine to me.

Sounds good.
