There are reports of users who use thread migrations between cgroups and
they report performance drop after d59cfc09c3 ("sched, cgroup: replace
signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"). The effect is
pronounced on machines with more CPUs.
The migration is affected by forking noise happening in the background,
after the mentioned commit a migrating thread must wait for all
(forking) processes on the system, not only of its threadgroup.
There are several places that need to synchronize with migration:
a) do_exit,
b) de_thread,
c) copy_process,
d) cgroup_update_dfl_csses,
e) parallel migration (cgroup_{proc,thread}s_write).
In the case of self-migrating thread, we relax the synchronization on
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to avoid the cost of waiting. d) and e) are
excluded with cgroup_mutex, c) does not matter in case of single thread
migration and the executing thread cannot exec(2) or exit(2) while it is
writing into cgroup.threads. In case of do_exit because of signal
delivery, we either exit before the migration or finish the migration
(of not yet PF_EXITING thread) and die afterwards.
This patch handles only the case of self-migration by writing "0" into
cgroup.threads. For simplicity, we always take cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem
with numeric PIDs.
This change improves migration dependent workload performance similar
to per-signal_struct state.

Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.
This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.
Notes:
(1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).
(2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree(). The extra
namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired
(3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
get called in the right places.
(4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
add a parameter in future.
(5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.
(6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
which allows userspace to collect them directly.
(7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.
Weirdies:
(*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks. I'm
told this is okay and needs commenting.
(*) The cgroup refcount web. This really needs documenting.
(*) cgroup2 only has one root?
Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.

Store the results in cgroup_fs_context. There's a nasty twist caused
by the enabling/disabling subsystems - we can't do the checks sensitive
to that until cgroup_mutex gets grabbed. Frankly, these checks are
complete bullshit (e.g. all,none combination is accepted if all subsystems
are disabled; so's cpusets,none and all,cpusets when cpusets is disabled,
etc.), but touching that would be a userland-visible behaviour change ;-/
So we do parsing in ->parse_monolithic() and have the consistency checks
done in check_cgroupfs_options(), with the latter called (on already parsed
options) from cgroup1_get_tree() and cgroup1_reconfigure().
Freeing the strdup'ed strings is done from fs_context destructor, which
somewhat simplifies the life for cgroup1_{get_tree,reconfigure}().

Unfortunately, cgroup is tangled into kernfs infrastructure.
To avoid converting all kernfs-based filesystems at once,
we need to untangle the remount part of things, instead of
having it go through kernfs_sop_remount_fs(). Fortunately,
it's not hard to do.
This commit just gets cgroup/cgroup1 to use fs_context to
deliver options on mount and remount paths. Parsing those
is going to be done in the next commits; for now we do
pretty much what legacy case does.

* make the reference from superblock to cgroup_root counting -
do cgroup_put() in cgroup_kill_sb() whether we'd done
percpu_ref_kill() or not; matching grab is done when we allocate
a new root. That gives the same refcounting rules for all callers
of cgroup_do_mount() - a reference to cgroup_root has been grabbed
by caller and it either is transferred to new superblock or dropped.
* have cgroup_kill_sb() treat an already killed refcount as "just
don't bother killing it, then".
* after successful cgroup_do_mount() have cgroup1_mount() recheck
if we'd raced with mount/umount from somebody else and cgroup_root
got killed. In that case we drop the superblock and bugger off
with -ERESTARTSYS, same as if we'd found it in the list already
dying.
* don't bother with delayed initialization of refcount - it's
unreliable and not needed. No need to prevent attempts to bump
the refcount if we find cgroup_root of another mount in progress -
sget will reuse an existing superblock just fine and if the
other sb manages to die before we get there, we'll catch
that immediately after cgroup_do_mount().
* don't bother with kernfs_pin_sb() - no need for doing that
either.

For debugging purpose, it will be useful to expose the content of the
subparts_cpus as a read-only file to see if the code work correctly.
However, subparts_cpus will not be used at all in most use cases. So
adding a new cpuset file that clutters the cgroup directory may not be
desirable. This is now being done by using the hidden "cgroup_debug"
kernel command line option to expose a new "cpuset.cpus.subpartitions"
file.
That option was originally used by the debug controller to expose
itself when configured into the kernel. This is now extended to set an
internal flag used by cgroup_addrm_files(). A new CFTYPE_DEBUG flag
can now be used to specify that a cgroup file should only be created
when the "cgroup_debug" option is specified.

It is unwise to take spin locks from the handlers of trace events.
Mainly, because they can introduce lockups, because it introduces locks
in places that are normally not tested. Worse yet, because trace events
are tucked away in the include/trace/events/ directory, locks that are
taken there are forgotten about.
As a general rule, I tell people never to take any locks in a trace
event handler.
Several cgroup trace event handlers call cgroup_path() which eventually
takes the kernfs_rename_lock spinlock. This injects the spinlock in the
code without people realizing it. It also can cause issues for the
PREEMPT_RT patch, as the spinlock becomes a mutex, and the trace event
handlers are called with preemption disabled.
By moving the calculation of the cgroup_path() out of the trace event
handlers and into a macro (surrounded by a
trace_cgroup_##type##_enabled()), then we could place the cgroup_path
into a string, and pass that to the trace event. Not only does this
remove the taking of the spinlock out of the trace event handler, but
it also means that the cgroup_path() only needs to be called once (it
is currently called twice, once to get the length to reserver the
buffer for, and once again to get the path itself. Now it only needs to
be done once.

This contains commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so
that it can be used for other cgroup stats too.
The original intention was to update memcg stats to use it but memcg
went for a different approach, so still the only user is cpustat. The
factoring out and generalization still make sense and it's likely
that this can be used for other purposes in the future.
- cgroup uses kernfs_notify() (which uses fsnotify()) to inform user

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

In cgroup1, while cpuacct isn't actually controlling any resources, it
is a separate controller due to combination of two factors -
1. enabling cpu controller has significant side effects, and 2. we
have to pick one of the hierarchies to account CPU usages on. cpuacct
controller is effectively used to designate a hierarchy to track CPU
usages on.
cgroup2's unified hierarchy removes the second reason and we can
account basic CPU usages by default. While we can use cpuacct for
this purpose, both its interface and implementation leave a lot to be
desired - it collects and exposes two sources of truth which don't
agree with each other and some of the exposed statistics don't make
much sense. Also, it propagates all the way up the hierarchy on each
accounting event which is unnecessary.
This patch adds basic resource accounting mechanism to cgroup2's
unified hierarchy and accounts CPU usages using it.
* All accountings are done per-cpu and don't propagate immediately.
It just bumps the per-cgroup per-cpu counters and links to the
parent's updated list if not already on it.
* On a read, the per-cpu counters are collected into the global ones
and then propagated upwards. Only the per-cpu counters which have
changed since the last read are propagated.
* CPU usage stats are collected and shown in "cgroup.stat" with "cpu."
prefix. Total usage is collected from scheduling events. User/sys
breakdown is sourced from tick sampling and adjusted to the usage
using cputime_adjust().
This keeps the accounting side hot path O(1) and per-cpu and the read
side O(nr_updated_since_last_read).

This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support. The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.
A cgroup is always created as a domain and can be made threaded by
writing to the "cgroup.type" file. When a cgroup becomes threaded, it
becomes a member of a threaded subtree which is anchored at the
closest ancestor which isn't threaded.
The threads of the processes which are in a threaded subtree can be
placed anywhere without being restricted by process granularity or
no-internal-process constraint. Note that the threads aren't allowed
to escape to a different threaded subtree. To be used inside a
threaded subtree, a controller should explicitly support threaded mode
and be able to handle internal competition in the way which is
appropriate for the resource.
The root of a threaded subtree, the nearest ancestor which isn't
threaded, is called the threaded domain and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree. This is the last cgroup where domain
controllers are operational and where all the domain-level resource
consumptions in the subtree are accounted. This allows threaded
controllers to operate at thread granularity when requested while
staying inside the scope of system-level resource distribution.
As the root cgroup is exempt from the no-internal-process constraint,
it can serve as both a threaded domain and a parent to normal cgroups,
so, unlike non-root cgroups, the root cgroup can have both domain and
threaded children.
Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->dom_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the threaded domain.
This ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all
threaded controllers are readily accessible for domain-level
operations.
This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers. Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.
For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.

@src_cgrp and @dst_cgrp.
v2: - Rolled in Waiman's task reference count fix.
- Updated on top of nsdelegate changes.

Subsystem migration methods shouldn't be called for empty migrations.
cgroup_migrate_execute() implements this guarantee by bailing early if
there are no source css_sets. This used to be correct before
a79a908fd2 ("cgroup: introduce cgroup namespaces"), but no longer
since the commit because css_sets can stay pinned without tasks in
them.
This caused cgroup_migrate_execute() call into cpuset migration
methods with an empty cgroup_taskset. cpuset migration methods
correctly assume that cgroup_taskset_first() never returns NULL;
however, due to the bug, it can, leading to the following oops.

This patch fixes the bug by adding an explicit nr_tasks counter to
cgroup_taskset and skipping calling the migration methods if the
counter is zero. While at it, remove the now spurious check on no
source css_sets.

The debug cgroup currently resides within cgroup-v1.c and is enabled
only for v1 cgroup. To enable the debug cgroup also for v2, it makes
sense to put the code into its own file as it will no longer be v1
specific. There is no change to the debug cgroup specific code.

Commit bfb0b80db5 ("cgroup: avoid attaching a cgroup root to two

delaying the initialization of cgroup root refcnt until a superblock

Currently, subsys->*attach() callbacks are called for all subsystems
which are attached to the hierarchy on which the migration is taking
place.
With cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() filtering out identity migrations,
v1 hierarchies can avoid spurious ->*attach() callback invocations
where the source and destination csses are identical; however, this
isn't enough on v2 as only a subset of the attached controllers can be
affected on controller enable/disable.
While spurious ->*attach() invocations aren't critically broken,
they're unnecessary overhead and can lead to temporary overcharges on
certain controllers. Fix it by tracking which subsystems are affected
by a migration and invoking ->*attach() callbacks only on those
subsystems.

cgroup migration is performed in four steps - css_set preloading,
addition of target tasks, actual migration, and clean up. A list
named preloaded_csets is used to track the preloading. This is a bit
too restricted and the code is already depending on the subtlety that
all source css_sets appear before destination ones.
Let's create struct cgroup_mgctx which keeps track of everything
during migration. Currently, it has separate preload lists for source
and destination csets and also embeds cgroup_taskset which is used
during the actual migration. This moves struct cgroup_taskset
definition to cgroup-internal.h.
This patch doesn't cause any functional changes.
