2017-07-21cgroup: update debug controller to print out thread mode informationWaiman Long
Update debug controller so that it prints out debug info about thread mode. 1) The relationship between proc_cset and threaded_csets are displayed. 2) The status of being a thread root or threaded cgroup is displayed. This patch is extracted from Waiman's larger patch. v2: - Removed [thread root] / [threaded] from debug.cgroup_css_links file as the same information is available from cgroup.type. Suggested by Waiman. - Threaded marking is moved to the previous patch. Patch-originally-by: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2017-07-21cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread supportTejun Heo
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.

2017-06-14cgroup: fix lockdep warning in debug controllerTejun Heo
The debug controller grabs cgroup_mutex from interface file show functions which can deadlock and triggers lockdep warnings. Fix it by using cgroup_kn_lock_live()/cgroup_kn_unlock() instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>
2017-06-14cgroup: refactor cgroup_masks_read() in the debug controllerTejun Heo
Factor out cgroup_masks_read_one() out of cgroup_masks_read() for simplicity. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>

Make debug an implicit controller on cgroup2 which is enabled by "cgroup_debug" boot param. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com>
2017-06-14cgroup: Make debug cgroup support v2 and thread modeWaiman Long
Besides supporting cgroup v2 and thread mode, the following changes are also made: 1) current_* cgroup files now resides only at the root as we don't need duplicated files of the same function all over the cgroup hierarchy. 2) The cgroup_css_links_read() function is modified to report the number of tasks that are skipped because of overflow. 3) The number of extra unaccounted references are displayed. 4) The current_css_set_read() function now prints out the addresses of the css'es associated with the current css_set. 5) A new cgroup_subsys_states file is added to display the css objects associated with a cgroup. 6) A new cgroup_masks file is added to display the various controller bit masks in the cgroup. tj: Dropped thread mode related information for now so that debug controller changes aren't blocked on the thread mode.

2017-06-14cgroup: Move debug cgroup to its own fileWaiman Long
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.
