Since commit f0d9a5f17575 ("cgroup: make css_set_rwsem a spinlock
and rename it to css_set_lock"), css_set_rwsem has been replaced by
css_set_lock. That commit, however, missed the css_set_rwsem reference
in include/linux/cgroup-defs.h. Fix that by changing it to css_set_lock
as well.

cgroup/rstat: Record the cumulative per-cpu time of cgroup and its descendants

The member variable bstat of the structure cgroup_rstat_cpu
records the per-cpu time of the cgroup itself, but does not
include the per-cpu time of its descendants. The per-cpu time
including descendants is very useful for calculating the
per-cpu usage of cgroups.

Although we can indirectly obtain the total per-cpu time
of the cgroup and its descendants by accumulating the per-cpu
bstat of each descendant of the cgroup. But after a child cgroup
is removed, we will lose its bstat information. This will cause
the cumulative value to be non-monotonic, thus affecting
the accuracy of cgroup per-cpu usage.

So we add the subtree_bstat variable to record the total
per-cpu time of this cgroup and its descendants, which is
similar to "cpuacct.usage*" in cgroup v1. And this is
also helpful for the migration from cgroup v1 to cgroup v2.
After adding this variable, we can obtain the per-cpu time of
cgroup and its descendants in user mode through eBPF/drgn, etc.
And we are still trying to determine how to expose it in the
cgroupfs interface.

sched: add throttled time stat for throttled children

We currently export the total throttled time for cgroups that are given
a bandwidth limit. This patch extends this accounting to also account
the total time that each children cgroup has been throttled.

This is useful to understand the degree to which children have been
affected by the throttling control. Children which are not runnable
during the entire throttled period, for example, will not show any
self-throttling time during this period.

Expose this in a new interface, 'cpu.stat.local', which is similar to
how non-hierarchical events are accounted in 'memory.events.local'.

bpf: Implement cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf progs

Similar to sk/inode/task storage, implement similar cgroup local storage.

There already exists a local storage implementation for cgroup-attached
bpf programs. See map type BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE and helper
bpf_get_local_storage(). But there are use cases such that non-cgroup
attached bpf progs wants to access cgroup local storage data. For example,
tc egress prog has access to sk and cgroup. It is possible to use
sk local storage to emulate cgroup local storage by storing data in socket.
But this is a waste as it could be lots of sockets belonging to a particular
cgroup. Alternatively, a separate map can be created with cgroup id as the key.
But this will introduce additional overhead to manipulate the new map.
A cgroup local storage, similar to existing sk/inode/task storage,
should help for this use case.

The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the
cgroup struct. i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning cgroup
with a call to bpf_cgrp_storage_free() when cgroup itself
is deleted.

The userspace map operations can be done by using a cgroup fd as a key
passed to the lookup, update and delete operations.

Typically, the following code is used to get the current cgroup:
struct task_struct *task = bpf_get_current_task_btf();
... task->cgroups->dfl_cgrp ...
and in structure task_struct definition:
struct task_struct {
....
struct css_set __rcu *cgroups;
....
}
With sleepable program, accessing task->cgroups is not protected by rcu_read_lock.
So the current implementation only supports non-sleepable program and supporting
sleepable program will be the next step together with adding rcu_read_lock
protection for rcu tagged structures.

Since map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE has been used for old cgroup local
storage support, the new map name BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGRP_STORAGE is used
for cgroup storage available to non-cgroup-attached bpf programs. The old
cgroup storage supports bpf_get_local_storage() helper to get the cgroup data.
The new cgroup storage helper bpf_cgrp_storage_get() can provide similar
functionality. While old cgroup storage pre-allocates storage memory, the new
mechanism can also pre-allocate with a user space bpf_map_update_elem() call
to avoid potential run-time memory allocation failure.
Therefore, the new cgroup storage can provide all functionality w.r.t.
the old one. So in uapi bpf.h, the old BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE is alias to
BPF_MAP_TYPE_CGROUP_STORAGE_DEPRECATED to indicate the old cgroup storage can
be deprecated since the new one can provide the same functionality.

sched/psi: Per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable interface

PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it
at each level of the hierarchy. This may cause non-negligible overhead
for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy.

commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide
to avoid this each level overhead.

But for our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI stats accounted for
userspace adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide adjustment.

So this patch introduce a per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable
interface "cgroup.pressure", which is a read-write single value file that
allowed values are "0" and "1", the defaults is "1" so per-cgroup
PSI stats is enabled by default.

Implementation details:

It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable
state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level,
if we can live with losing history from while it was disabled.
I.e. the avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps.

But it's hard or complex to stop/restart groupc->tasks[] updates,
which is not implemented in this patch. So we always update
groupc->tasks[] and PSI_ONCPU bit in psi_group_change() even when
the cgroup PSI stats is disabled.

Every cgroup knows all its ancestors through its ->ancestor_ids[]. There's

this makes the array useless for finding an actual ancestor cgroup forcing
cgroup_ancestor() to iteratively walk up the hierarchy instead. Let's
replace cgroup->ancestor_ids[] with ->ancestors[] and remove the walking-up
from cgroup_ancestor().

While at it, improve comments around cgroup_root->cgrp_ancestor_storage.

This patch shouldn't cause user-visible behavior differences.

cgroup: Make !percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional

3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.

This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.

Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration

Each cset (css_set) is pinned by its tasks. When we're moving tasks around
across csets for a migration, we need to hold the source and destination
csets to ensure that they don't go away while we're moving tasks about. This
is done by linking cset->mg_preload_node on either the
mgctx->preloaded_src_csets or mgctx->preloaded_dst_csets list. Using the
same cset->mg_preload_node for both the src and dst lists was deemed okay as
a cset can't be both the source and destination at the same time.

Unfortunately, this overloading becomes problematic when multiple tasks are
involved in a migration and some of them are identity noop migrations while
others are actually moving across cgroups. For example, this can happen with
the following sequence on cgroup1:

#1> mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b
#2> echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs
#3> RUN_A_COMMAND_WHICH_CREATES_MULTIPLE_THREADS &
#4> PID=$!
#5> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b/tasks
#6> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs

the process including the group leader back into a. In this final migration,
non-leader threads would be doing identity migration while the group leader
is doing an actual one.

After #3, let's say the whole process was in cset A, and that after #4, the
leader moves to cset B. Then, during #6, the following happens:

1. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on B for the leader.

2. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on A for the other threads.

3. cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called. It scans the src list.

4. It notices that B wants to migrate to A, so it tries to A to the dst
list but realizes that its ->mg_preload_node is already busy.

5. and then it notices A wants to migrate to A as it's an identity
migration, it culls it by list_del_init()'ing its ->mg_preload_node and
putting references accordingly.

6. The rest of migration takes place with B on the src list but nothing on
the dst list.

This means that A isn't held while migration is in progress. If all tasks
leave A before the migration finishes and the incoming task pins it, the
cset will be destroyed leading to use-after-free.

This is caused by overloading cset->mg_preload_node for both src and dst
preload lists. We wanted to exclude the cset from the src list but ended up
inadvertently excluding it from the dst list too.

This patch fixes the issue by separating out cset->mg_preload_node into
->mg_src_preload_node and ->mg_dst_preload_node, so that the src and dst
preloadings don't interfere with each other.

After #3, let's say the whole process was in cset A, and that after #4, the
leader moves to cset B. Then, during #6, the following happens:

1. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on B for the leader.

2. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on A for the other threads.

3. cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called. It scans the src list.

4. It notices that B wants to migrate to A, so it tries to A to the dst
list but realizes that its ->mg_preload_node is already busy.

5. and then it notices A wants to migrate to A as it's an identity
migration, it culls it by list_del_init()'ing its ->mg_preload_node and
putting references accordingly.

6. The rest of migration takes place with B on the src list but nothing on
the dst list.

This means that A isn't held while migration is in progress. If all tasks
leave A before the migration finishes and the incoming task pins it, the
cset will be destroyed leading to use-after-free.

This is caused by overloading cset->mg_preload_node for both src and dst
preload lists. We wanted to exclude the cset from the src list but ended up
inadvertently excluding it from the dst list too.

This patch fixes the issue by separating out cset->mg_preload_node into
->mg_src_preload_node and ->mg_dst_preload_node, so that the src and dst
preloadings don't interfere with each other.

cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration

cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration

commit 07fd5b6cdf3cc30bfde8fe0f644771688be04447 upstream.

Each cset (css_set) is pinned by its tasks. When we're moving tasks around
across csets for a migration, we need to hold the source and destination
csets to ensure that they don't go away while we're moving tasks about. This
is done by linking cset->mg_preload_node on either the
mgctx->preloaded_src_csets or mgctx->preloaded_dst_csets list. Using the
same cset->mg_preload_node for both the src and dst lists was deemed okay as
a cset can't be both the source and destination at the same time.

Unfortunately, this overloading becomes problematic when multiple tasks are
involved in a migration and some of them are identity noop migrations while
others are actually moving across cgroups. For example, this can happen with
the following sequence on cgroup1:

#1> mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b
#2> echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs
#3> RUN_A_COMMAND_WHICH_CREATES_MULTIPLE_THREADS &
#4> PID=$!
#5> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b/tasks
#6> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs

the process including the group leader back into a. In this final migration,
non-leader threads would be doing identity migration while the group leader
is doing an actual one.

After #3, let's say the whole process was in cset A, and that after #4, the
leader moves to cset B. Then, during #6, the following happens:

1. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on B for the leader.

2. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on A for the other threads.

3. cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called. It scans the src list.

4. It notices that B wants to migrate to A, so it tries to A to the dst
list but realizes that its ->mg_preload_node is already busy.

cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration

cgroup: Use separate src/dst nodes when preloading css_sets for migration

commit 07fd5b6cdf3cc30bfde8fe0f644771688be04447 upstream.

Each cset (css_set) is pinned by its tasks. When we're moving tasks around
across csets for a migration, we need to hold the source and destination
csets to ensure that they don't go away while we're moving tasks about. This
is done by linking cset->mg_preload_node on either the
mgctx->preloaded_src_csets or mgctx->preloaded_dst_csets list. Using the
same cset->mg_preload_node for both the src and dst lists was deemed okay as
a cset can't be both the source and destination at the same time.

Unfortunately, this overloading becomes problematic when multiple tasks are
involved in a migration and some of them are identity noop migrations while
others are actually moving across cgroups. For example, this can happen with
the following sequence on cgroup1:

#1> mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b
#2> echo $$ > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs
#3> RUN_A_COMMAND_WHICH_CREATES_MULTIPLE_THREADS &
#4> PID=$!
#5> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/b/tasks
#6> echo $PID > /sys/fs/cgroup/misc/a/cgroup.procs

the process including the group leader back into a. In this final migration,
non-leader threads would be doing identity migration while the group leader
is doing an actual one.

After #3, let's say the whole process was in cset A, and that after #4, the
leader moves to cset B. Then, during #6, the following happens:

1. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on B for the leader.

2. cgroup_migrate_add_src() is called on A for the other threads.

3. cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called. It scans the src list.

4. It notices that B wants to migrate to A, so it tries to A to the dst
list but realizes that its ->mg_preload_node is already busy.

5. and then it notices A wants to migrate to A as it's an identity
migration, it culls it by list_del_init()'ing its ->mg_preload_node and
putting references accordingly.

6. The rest of migration takes place with B on the src list but nothing on
the dst list.

This means that A isn't held while migration is in progress. If all tasks
leave A before the migration finishes and the incoming task pins it, the
cset will be destroyed leading to use-after-free.

This is caused by overloading cset->mg_preload_node for both src and dst
preload lists. We wanted to exclude the cset from the src list but ended up
inadvertently excluding it from the dst list too.

This patch fixes the issue by separating out cset->mg_preload_node into
->mg_src_preload_node and ->mg_dst_preload_node, so that the src and dst
preloadings don't interfere with each other.
