A new mount option "cpuset_v2_mode" is added to the v1 cgroupfs
filesystem to enable cpuset controller to use v2 behavior in a v1
cgroup. This mount option applies only to cpuset controller and have

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.
v5: - Dropped silly no-op ->dom_cgrp init from cgroup_create().
Spotted by Waiman.
- Documentation updated as suggested by Waiman.
- cgroup.type content slightly reformatted.
- Mark the debug controller threaded.
v4: - Updated to the general idea of marking specific cgroups
domain/threaded as suggested by PeterZ.
v3: - Dropped "join" and always make mixed children join the parent's
threaded subtree.
v2: - After discussions with Waiman, support for mixed thread mode is
added. This should address the issue that Peter pointed out
where any nesting should be avoided for thread subtrees while
coexisting with other domain cgroups.
- Enabling / disabling thread mode now piggy backs on the existing
control mask update mechanism.
- Bug fixes and cleanup.

css_task_iter currently always walks all tasks. With the scheduled
cgroup v2 thread support, the iterator would need to handle multiple
types of iteration. As a preparation, add @flags to
css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS. If the flag
is not specified, it walks all tasks as before. When asserted, the
iterator only walks the group leaders.
For now, the only user of the flag is cgroup v2 "cgroup.procs" file
which no longer needs to skip non-leader tasks in cgroup_procs_next().
Note that cgroup v1 "cgroup.procs" can't use the group leader walk as
v1 "cgroup.procs" doesn't mean "list all thread group leaders in the
cgroup" but "list all thread group id's with any threads in the
cgroup".
While at it, update cgroup_procs_show() to use task_pid_vnr() instead
of task_tgid_vnr(). As the iteration guarantees that the function
only sees group leaders, this doesn't change the output and will allow
sharing the function for thread iteration.

Currently, writes "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.tasks" files are all
handled by __cgroup_procs_write() on both v1 and v2. This patch
reoragnizes the write path so that there are common helper functions
that different write paths use.
While this somewhat increases LOC, the different paths are no longer
intertwined and each path has more flexibility to implement different
behaviors which will be necessary for the planned v2 thread support.
v3: - Restructured so that cgroup_procs_write_permission() takes
@src_cgrp and @dst_cgrp.
v2: - Rolled in Waiman's task reference count fix.
- Updated on top of nsdelegate changes.

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.

The reference count in the css_set data structure was used as a
proxy of the number of tasks attached to that css_set. However, that
count is actually not an accurate measure especially with thread mode
support. So a new variable nr_tasks is added to the css_set to keep
track of the actual task count. This new variable is protected by
the css_set_lock. Functions that require the actual task count are
updated to use the new variable.
tj: s/task_count/nr_tasks/ for consistency with cgroup_root->nr_cgrps.
Refreshed on top of cgroup/for-v4.13 which dropped on
css_set_populated() -> nr_tasks conversion.

delaying the initialization of cgroup root refcnt until a superblock
has been allocated.

We end up using the same cgroup root for two different superblocks,
so percpu_ref_kill() will be called twice on the same root when the
two superblocks are destroyed.
We should fix to make sure the superblock pinning is really successful.

task_struct::signal and task_struct::sighand are pointers, which would normally make it
straightforward to not define those types in sched.h.
That is not so, because the types are accompanied by a myriad of APIs (macros and inline
functions) that dereference them.
Split the types and the APIs out of sched.h and move them into a new header, <linux/sched/signal.h>.
With this change sched.h does not know about 'struct signal' and 'struct sighand' anymore,
trying to put accessors into sched.h as a test fails the following way:
./include/linux/sched.h: In function ‘test_signal_types’:
./include/linux/sched.h:2461:18: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type ‘struct signal_struct’
^
This reduces the size and complexity of sched.h significantly.
Update all headers and .c code that relied on getting the signal handling
functionality from <linux/sched.h> to include <linux/sched/signal.h>.
The list of affected files in the preparatory patch was partly generated by
grepping for the APIs, and partly by doing coverage build testing, both
all[yes|mod|def|no]config builds on 64-bit and 32-bit x86, and an array of
cross-architecture builds.
Nevertheless some (trivial) build breakage is still expected related to rare
Kconfig combinations and in-flight patches to various kernel code, but most
of it should be handled by this patch.

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.
