Delay accounting does not track the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ. While
IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workloads productivity, such
as when workloads are running on system which is busy handling network
IRQ/SOFTIRQ.
Get the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ could help users to reduce such delay. Such
as setting interrupt affinity or task affinity, using kernel thread for
NAPI etc. This is inspired by "sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track
IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"[1]. Also fix some code indent problems of older
code.

Improve the average delay precision of getdelay tool to microsecond. When
using the getdelay tool, it is sometimes found that the average delay
except CPU is not 0, but display is 0, because the precison is too low.

This wrong display is misleading, so improve the millisecond precision of
the average delay to microsecond just like CPU. Then user would get more

PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource
pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/<resource>, which gives
average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable
fd for a specific resource and cgroup.
The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the
possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT
thread to aggregate the data.
Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure
on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a
container that itself then launches services, the container should have
the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither
the container nor the services are privileged.
This patch implements a mechanism to allow unprivileged users to create
pressure triggers. The difference with privileged triggers creation is
that unprivileged ones must have a time window that's a multiple of 2s.
This is so that we can avoid unrestricted spawning of rt threads, and
use instead the same aggregation mechanism done for the averages, which
runs independently of any triggers.

Martin find it confusing when look at the /proc/pressure/cpu output,
and found no hint about that CPU "full" line in psi Documentation.
% cat /proc/pressure/cpu
some avg10=0.92 avg60=0.91 avg300=0.73 total=933490489
full avg10=0.22 avg60=0.23 avg300=0.16 total=358783277
The PSI_CPU_FULL state is introduced by commit e7fcd76228
("psi: Add PSI_CPU_FULL state"), which mainly for cgroup level,
but also counted at the system level as a side effect.
Naturally, the FULL state doesn't exist for the CPU resource at
the system level. These "full" numbers can come from CPU idle
schedule latency. For example, t1 is the time when task wakeup
on an idle CPU, t2 is the time when CPU pick and switch to it.
The delta of (t2 - t1) will be in CPU_FULL state.
Another case all processes can be stalled is when all cgroups
have been throttled at the same time, which unlikely to happen.
Anyway, CPU_FULL metric is meaningless and confusing at the
system level. So this patch will report zeroes for CPU full
at the system level, and update psi Documentation accordingly.

psi: Fix uaf issue when psi trigger is destroyed while being polled
With write operation on psi files replacing old trigger with a new one,
the lifetime of its waitqueue is totally arbitrary. Overwriting an
existing trigger causes its waitqueue to be freed and pending poll()
will stumble on trigger->event_wait which was destroyed.
Fix this by disallowing to redefine an existing psi trigger. If a write
operation is used on a file descriptor with an already existing psi
trigger, the operation will fail with EBUSY error.
Also bypass a check for psi_disabled in the psi_trigger_destroy as the
flag can be flipped after the trigger is created, leading to a memory
leak.

Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection
mechanism configurable by users. It allows users to monitor psi metrics
growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined
threshold within user-defined time window.
Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs. Multiple psi
resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored
concurrently.
Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored
psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state. While system
is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10
times per tracking window. Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min
monitoring interval is 50ms. Max window size is 10s with monitoring
interval of 1s.
When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi
signal is bouncing.
Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window.

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent
workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but
also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health,
fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others.
This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels
with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure,
and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only
the tasks inside the cgroup.

When systems are overcommitted and resources become contended, it's hard
to tell exactly the impact this has on workload productivity, or how close
the system is to lockups and OOM kills. In particular, when machines work
multiple jobs concurrently, the impact of overcommit in terms of latency
and throughput on the individual job can be enormous.
In order to maximize hardware utilization without sacrificing individual
job health or risk complete machine lockups, this patch implements a way
to quantify resource pressure in the system.
A kernel built with CONFIG_PSI=y creates files in /proc/pressure/ that
expose the percentage of time the system is stalled on CPU, memory, or IO,
respectively. Stall states are aggregate versions of the per-task delay
accounting delays:
cpu: some tasks are runnable but not executing on a CPU
memory: tasks are reclaiming, or waiting for swapin or thrashing cache
io: tasks are waiting for io completions
These percentages of walltime can be thought of as pressure percentages,
and they give a general sense of system health and productivity loss
incurred by resource overcommit. They can also indicate when the system
is approaching lockup scenarios and OOMs.
To do this, psi keeps track of the task states associated with each CPU
and samples the time they spend in stall states. Every 2 seconds, the
samples are averaged across CPUs - weighted by the CPUs' non-idle time to
eliminate artifacts from unused CPUs - and translated into percentages of
walltime. A running average of those percentages is maintained over 10s,
1m, and 5m periods (similar to the loadaverage).

The type TASKSTATS_TYPE_NULL should always be ignored.
When jumping to the next attribute, only the length of the current
attribute should be added, not the length of all nested attributes.
This last bug was not visible before commit 80df554275, because the
kernel didn't put more than two nested attributes.

stime and utime are declared __u64 but are never used. On a glibc system
this is harmless lint, but on a uClibc system, because of the difference
in they way header files stack, including stdio.h brings in time.h and
this causes a name collision with stime. Since these are useless anyhow,
we remove them.

If the call to setsockopt() fails in
Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c::create_nl_socket() we return -1
without closing the socket, thus leaking it when the 'fd' variable
goes out of scope.
Easily fixed by just jumping to the 'error' label instead of returning
since we do the proper cleanup there.
While I was there I noticed that the error message that is printet if
setsockopt() fails was broken over two lines - put that on a single
line so it is easier to grep for.

The taskstats structure is internally aligned on 8 byte boundaries but the
layout of the aggregrate reply, with two NLA headers and the pid (each 4
bytes), actually force the entire structure to be unaligned. This causes
the kernel to issue unaligned access warnings on some architectures like
ia64. Unfortunately, some software out there doesn't properly unroll the
NLA packet and assumes that the start of the taskstats structure will
always be 20 bytes from the start of the netlink payload. Aligning the
start of the taskstats structure breaks this software, which we don't
want. So, for now the alignment only happens on architectures that
require it and those users will have to update to fixed versions of those
packages. Space is reserved in the packet only when needed. This ifdef
should be removed in several years e.g. 2012 once we can be confident
that fixed versions are installed on most systems. We add the padding
before the aggregate since the aggregate is already a defined type.
Commit 85893120 ("delayacct: align to 8 byte boundary on 64-bit systems")
previously addressed the alignment issues by padding out the pid field.
This was supposed to be a compatible change but the circumstances
described above mean that it wasn't. This patch backs out that change,
since it was a hack, and introduces a new NULL attribute type to provide
the padding. Padding the response with 4 bytes avoids allocating an
aligned taskstats structure and copying it back. Since the structure
weighs in at 328 bytes, it's too big to do it on the stack.

Task delay-accounting was identified as one means of determining how long
a process spends in congestion_wait() without adding new statistics. For
example, if the workload should not be doing IO, delay-accounting could
reveal how long it was spending in unexpected IO or delays.
Unfortunately, on closer examination it was clear that getdelays does not
act as documented.
Commit a3baf649 ("per-task-delay-accounting: documentation") added
Documentation/accounting/getdelays.c with a -c switch that was documented
to fork/exec a child and report statistics on it but for reasons that are
unclear to me, commit 9e06d3f9 deleted support for this switch but did not
update the documentation. It might be an oversight or it might be because
the control flow of the program meant that accounting information would be
printed once early in the lifetime of the program making it of limited
use.
This patch reimplements -c for getdelays.c to act as documented. Unlike
the original version, it waits until the command completes before printing
any information on it. An example of it being used looks like
$ ./getdelays -d -c find /home/mel -name mel
print delayacct stats ON

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot
since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in
text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to
be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code
instead of bad examples.
Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir.
Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol.
Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the
Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system.
However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need
to be installed (for userspace builds).

This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)
This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.
The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.
TODO's/NOTE:
This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.
Sample output
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same
Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!
