e1cba4b85d cgroup: Add mount flag to enable cpuset to use v2 behavior in v1 cgroup
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
no effect on other controllers.

1a926e0bba cgroup: implement hierarchy limits
Creating cgroup hierearchies of unreasonable size can affect
overall system performance. A user might want to limit the
size of cgroup hierarchy. This is especially important if a user
is delegating some cgroup sub-tree.

To address this issue, introduce an ability to control
the size of cgroup hierarchy.

The cgroup.max.descendants control file allows to set the maximum
allowed number of descendant cgroups.
The cgroup.max.depth file controls the maximum depth of the cgroup
tree. Both are single value r/w files, with "max" default value.

The control files exist on each hierarchy level (including root).
When a new cgroup is created, we check the total descendants
and depth limits on each level, and if none of them are exceeded,
a new cgroup is created.

Only alive cgroups are counted, removed (dying) cgroups are
ignored.

8cfd8147df cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support
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.

454000adaa cgroup: introduce cgroup->dom_cgrp and threaded css_set handling
cgroup v2 is in the process of growing thread granularity support.  A
threaded subtree is composed of a thread root and threaded cgroups
which are proper members of the subtree.

The root cgroup of the subtree serves as the domain cgroup to which
the processes (as opposed to threads / tasks) of the subtree
conceptually belong and domain-level resource consumptions not tied to
any specific task are charged.  Inside the subtree, threads won't be
subject to process granularity or no-internal-task constraint and can
be distributed arbitrarily across the subtree.

This patch introduces cgroup->dom_cgrp along with threaded css_set
handling.

* cgroup->dom_cgrp points to self for normal and thread roots.  For
  proper thread subtree members, points to the dom_cgrp (the thread
  root).

* css_set->dom_cset points to self if for normal and thread roots.  If
  threaded, points to the css_set which belongs to the cgrp->dom_cgrp.
  The dom_cgrp serves as the resource domain and keeps the matching
  csses available.  The dom_cset holds those csses and makes them
  easily accessible.

* All threaded csets are linked on their dom_csets to enable iteration
  of all threaded tasks.

* cgroup->nr_threaded_children keeps track of the number of threaded
  children.

This patch adds the above but doesn't actually use them yet.  The
following patches will build on top.

v4: ->nr_threaded_children added.

v3: ->proc_cgrp/cset renamed to ->dom_cgrp/cset.  Updated for the new
    enable-threaded-per-cgroup behavior.

v2: Added cgroup_is_threaded() helper.

788b950c62 cgroup: distinguish local and children populated states
cgrp->populated_cnt counts both local (the cgroup's populated
css_sets) and subtree proper (populated children) so that it's only
zero when the whole subtree, including self, is empty.

This patch splits the counter into two so that local and children
populated states are tracked separately.  It allows finer-grained
tests on the state of the hierarchy which will be used to replace
css_set walking local populated test.

5136f6365c cgroup: implement "nsdelegate" mount option
Currently, cgroup only supports delegation to !root users and cgroup
namespaces don't get any special treatments.  This limits the
usefulness of cgroup namespaces as they by themselves can't be safe
delegation boundaries.  A process inside a cgroup can change the
resource control knobs of the parent in the namespace root and may
move processes in and out of the namespace if cgroups outside its
namespace are visible somehow.

This patch adds a new mount option "nsdelegate" which makes cgroup
namespaces delegation boundaries.  If set, cgroup behaves as if write
permission based delegation took place at namespace boundaries -
writes to the resource control knobs from the namespace root are
denied and migration crossing the namespace boundary aren't allowed
from inside the namespace.

This allows cgroup namespace to function as a delegation boundary by
itself.

v2: Silently ignore nsdelegate specified on !init mounts.

73a7242a06 cgroup: Keep accurate count of tasks in each css_set
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.

b8b1a2e5ec cgroup: move cgroup_subsys_state parent field for cache locality
Various structures embed a struct cgroup_subsys_state, typically at
the top of the containing structure.  It is common for code that
accesses the structures to perform operations that iterate over the
chain of parent css pointers, also accessing data in each containing
structure.  In particular, struct cpuacct is used by fairly hot code
paths in the scheduler such as cpuacct_charge().

Move the parent css pointer field to the end of the structure to
increase the chances of residing in the same cache line as the data
from the containing structure.

3007098494 cgroup: add support for eBPF programs
This patch adds two sets of eBPF program pointers to struct cgroup.
One for such that are directly pinned to a cgroup, and one for such
that are effective for it.

To illustrate the logic behind that, assume the following example
cgroup hierarchy.

  A - B - C
        \ D - E

If only B has a program attached, it will be effective for B, C, D
and E. If D then attaches a program itself, that will be effective for
both D and E, and the program in B will only affect B and C. Only one
program of a given type is effective for a cgroup.

Attaching and detaching programs will be done through the bpf(2)
syscall. For now, ingress and egress inet socket filtering are the
only supported use-cases.

5cf1cacb49 cgroup, cpuset: replace cpuset_post_attach_flush() with cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback
Since e93ad19d05 ("cpuset: make mm migration asynchronous"), cpuset
kicks off asynchronous NUMA node migration if necessary during task
migration and flushes it from cpuset_post_attach_flush() which is
called at the end of __cgroup_procs_write().  This is to avoid
performing migration with cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem write-locked which
can lead to deadlock through dependency on kworker creation.

memcg has a similar issue with charge moving, so let's convert it to
an official callback rather than the current one-off cpuset specific
function.  This patch adds cgroup_subsys->post_attach callback and
makes cpuset register cpuset_post_attach_flush() as its ->post_attach.

The conversion is mostly one-to-one except that the new callback is
called under cgroup_mutex.  This is to guarantee that no other
migration operations are started before ->post_attach callbacks are
finished.  cgroup_mutex is one of the outermost mutex in the system
and has never been and shouldn't be a problem.  We can add specialized
synchronization around __cgroup_procs_write() but I don't think
there's any noticeable benefit.

2b021cbf3c cgroup: ignore css_sets associated with dead cgroups during migration
Before 2e91fa7f6d ("cgroup: keep zombies associated with their
original cgroups"), all dead tasks were associated with init_css_set.
If a zombie task is requested for migration, while migration prep
operations would still be performed on init_css_set, the actual
migration would ignore zombie tasks.  As init_css_set is always valid,
this worked fine.

However, after 2e91fa7f6d, zombie tasks stay with the css_set it was
associated with at the time of death.  Let's say a task T associated
with cgroup A on hierarchy H-1 and cgroup B on hiearchy H-2.  After T
becomes a zombie, it would still remain associated with A and B.  If A
only contains zombie tasks, it can be removed.  On removal, A gets
marked offline but stays pinned until all zombies are drained.  At
this point, if migration is initiated on T to a cgroup C on hierarchy
H-2, migration path would try to prepare T's css_set for migration and
trigger the following.

f6d635ad34 cgroup: implement cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl
Some controllers, perf_event for now and possibly freezer in the
future, don't really make sense to control explicitly through
"cgroup.subtree_control".  For example, the primary role of perf_event
is identifying the cgroups of tasks; however, because the controller
also keeps a small amount of state per cgroup, it can't be replaced
with simple cgroup membership tests.

This patch implements cgroup_subsys->implicit_on_dfl flag.  When set,
the controller is implicitly enabled on all cgroups on the v2
hierarchy so that utility type controllers such as perf_event can be
enabled and function transparently.

An implicit controller doesn't show up in "cgroup.controllers" or
"cgroup.subtree_control", is exempt from no internal process rule and
can be stolen from the default hierarchy even if there are non-root
csses.

v2: Reimplemented on top of the recent updates to css handling and
    subsystem rebinding.  Rebinding implicit subsystems is now a
    simple matter of exempting it from the busy subsystem check.

e4857982f4 cgroup: use css_set->mg_dst_cgrp for the migration target cgroup
Migration can be multi-target on the default hierarchy when a
controller is enabled - processes belonging to each child cgroup have
to be moved to the child cgroup itself to refresh css association.

This isn't a problem for cgroup_migrate_add_src() as each source
css_set still maps to single source and target cgroups; however,
cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst() is called once after all source css_sets
are added and thus might not have a single destination cgroup.  This
is currently worked around by specifying NULL for @dst_cgrp and using
the source's default cgroup as destination as the only multi-target
migration in use is self-targetting.  While this works, it's subtle
and clunky.

As all taget cgroups are already specified while preparing the source
css_sets, this clunkiness can easily be removed by recording the
target cgroup in each source css_set.  This patch adds
css_set->mg_dst_cgrp which is recorded on cgroup_migrate_src() and
used by cgroup_migrate_prepare_dst().  This also makes migration code
ready for arbitrary multi-target migration.

15a27c362d cgroup: introduce cgroup_{save|propagate|restore}_control()
While controllers are being enabled and disabled in
cgroup_subtree_control_write(), the original subsystem masks are

This patch adds dedicated fields to struct cgroup to be used instead
of the local variables and implements functions to stash the current
values, propagate the changes and restore them recursively.  Combined
with the previous changes, this makes subsystem management operations
fully recursive and modularlized.  This will be used to expand cgroup
core functionalities.

88cb04b96a cgroup: explicitly track whether a cgroup_subsys_state is visible to userland
Currently, whether a css (cgroup_subsys_state) has its interface files
created is not tracked and assumed to change together with the owning
cgroup's lifecycle.  cgroup directory and interface creation is being
separated out from internal object creation to help refactoring and
eventually allow cgroups which are not visible through cgroupfs.

This patch adds CSS_VISIBLE to track whether a css has its interface
files created and perform management operations only when necessary
which helps decoupling interface file handling from internal object
lifecycle.  After this patch, all css interface file management
functions can be called regardless of the current state and will
achieve the expected result.

aa226ff4a1 cgroup: make sure a parent css isn't offlined before its children
There are three subsystem callbacks in css shutdown path -
css_offline(), css_released() and css_free().  Except for
css_released(), cgroup core didn't guarantee the order of invocation.
css_offline() or css_free() could be called on a parent css before its
children.  This behavior is unexpected and led to bugs in cpu and
memory controller.

This patch updates offline path so that a parent css is never offlined
before its children.  Each css keeps online_cnt which reaches zero iff

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:

 - cgroup v2 interface is now official.  It's no longer hidden behind a
   devel flag and can be mounted using the new cgroup2 fs type.

   Unfortunately, cpu v2 interface hasn't made it yet due to the
   discussion around in-process hierarchical resource distribution and
   only memory and io controllers can be used on the v2 interface at the
   moment.

 - The existing documentation which has always been a bit of mess is
   relocated under Documentation/cgroup-v1/. Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt
   is added as the authoritative documentation for the v2 interface.

 - Some features are added through for-4.5-ancestor-test branch to
   enable netfilter xt_cgroup match to use cgroup v2 paths.  The actual
   netfilter changes will be merged through the net tree which pulled in
   the said branch.

 - Various cleanups

ad2c8c73d2 cgroup: fix sock_cgroup_data initialization on earlier compilers
sock_cgroup_data is a struct containing an anonymous union.
sock_cgroup_set_prioidx() and sock_cgroup_set_classid() were
initializing a field inside the anonymous union as follows.

 struct sock_ccgroup_data skcd_buf = { .val = VAL };

While this is fine on more recent compilers, gcc-4.4.7 triggers the
following errors.

 include/linux/cgroup-defs.h: In function ‘sock_cgroup_set_prioidx’:
 include/linux/cgroup-defs.h:619: error: unknown field ‘val’ specified in initializer
 include/linux/cgroup-defs.h:619: warning: missing braces around initializer
 include/linux/cgroup-defs.h:619: warning: (near initialization for ‘skcd_buf.<anonymous>’)

This is because .val belongs to the anonymous union nested inside the
struct but the initializer is missing the nesting.  Fix it by adding
an extra pair of braces.

bd1060a1d6 sock, cgroup: add sock->sk_cgroup
In cgroup v1, dealing with cgroup membership was difficult because the
number of membership associations was unbound.  As a result, cgroup v1
grew several controllers whose primary purpose is either tagging
membership or pull in configuration knobs from other subsystems so
that cgroup membership test can be avoided.

net_cls and net_prio controllers are examples of the latter.  They
allow configuring network-specific attributes from cgroup side so that
network subsystem can avoid testing cgroup membership; unfortunately,
these are not only cumbersome but also problematic.

Both net_cls and net_prio aren't properly hierarchical.  Both inherit
configuration from the parent on creation but there's no interaction
afterwards.  An ancestor doesn't restrict the behavior in its subtree
in anyway and configuration changes aren't propagated downwards.
Especially when combined with cgroup delegation, this is problematic
because delegatees can mess up whatever network configuration
implemented at the system level.  net_prio would allow the delegatees
to set whatever priority value regardless of CAP_NET_ADMIN and net_cls
the same for classid.

While it is possible to solve these issues from controller side by
implementing hierarchical allowable ranges in both controllers, it
would involve quite a bit of complexity in the controllers and further
obfuscate network configuration as it becomes even more difficult to
tell what's actually being configured looking from the network side.
While not much can be done for v1 at this point, as membership
handling is sane on cgroup v2, it'd be better to make cgroup matching
behave like other network matches and classifiers than introducing
further complications.

In preparation, this patch updates sock->sk_cgrp_data handling so that
it points to the v2 cgroup that sock was created in until either
net_prio or net_cls is used.  Once either of the two is used,
sock->sk_cgrp_data reverts to its previous role of carrying prioidx
and classid.  This is to avoid adding yet another cgroup related field
to struct sock.

As the mode switching can happen at most once per boot, the switching
mechanism is aimed at lowering hot path overhead.  It may leak a
finite, likely small, number of cgroup refs and report spurious
prioidx or classid on switching; however, dynamic updates of prioidx
and classid have always been racy and lossy - socks between creation
and fd installation are never updated, config changes don't update
existing sockets at all, and prioidx may index with dead and recycled
cgroup IDs.  Non-critical inaccuracies from small race windows won't
make any noticeable difference.

This patch doesn't make use of the pointer yet.  The following patch
will implement netfilter match for cgroup2 membership.

v2: Use sock_cgroup_data to avoid inflating struct sock w/ another
    cgroup specific field.

v3: Add comments explaining why sock_data_prioidx() and
    sock_data_classid() use different fallback values.

2a56a1fec2 net: wrap sock->sk_cgrp_prioidx and ->sk_classid inside a struct
Introduce sock->sk_cgrp_data which is a struct sock_cgroup_data.
->sk_cgroup_prioidx and ->sk_classid are moved into it.  The struct
and its accessors are defined in cgroup-defs.h.  This is to prepare
for overloading the fields with a cgroup pointer.

This patch mostly performs equivalent conversions but the followings
are noteworthy.

* Equality test before updating classid is removed from
  sock_update_classid().  This shouldn't make any noticeable
  difference and a similar test will be implemented on the helper side
  later.

* sock_update_netprioidx() now takes struct sock_cgroup_data and can
  be moved to netprio_cgroup.h without causing include dependency
  loop.  Moved.

* The dummy version of sock_update_netprioidx() converted to a static
  inline function while at it.

1f7dd3e5a6 cgroup: fix handling of multi-destination migration from subtree_control enabling
Consider the following v2 hierarchy.

  P0 (+memory) --- P1 (-memory) --- A
                                 \- B
       
P0 has memory enabled in its subtree_control while P1 doesn't.  If
both A and B contain processes, they would belong to the memory css of
P1.  Now if memory is enabled on P1's subtree_control, memory csses
should be created on both A and B and A's processes should be moved to
the former and B's processes the latter.  IOW, enabling controllers
can cause atomic migrations into different csses.

The core cgroup migration logic has been updated accordingly but the
controller migration methods haven't and still assume that all tasks
migrate to a single target css; furthermore, the methods were fed the
css in which subtree_control was updated which is the parent of the
target csses.  pids controller depends on the migration methods to
move charges and this made the controller attribute charges to the
wrong csses often triggering the following warning by driving a
counter negative.

This patch fixes the bug by removing @css parameter from the three
migration methods, ->can_attach, ->cancel_attach() and ->attach() and
updating cgroup_taskset iteration helpers also return the destination
css in addition to the task being migrated.  All controllers are
updated accordingly.

* Controllers which don't care whether there are one or multiple
  target csses can be converted trivially.  cpu, io, freezer, perf,
  netclassid and netprio fall in this category.

* cpuset's current implementation assumes that there's single source
  and destination and thus doesn't support v2 hierarchy already.  The
  only change made by this patchset is how that single destination css
  is obtained.

* memory migration path already doesn't do anything on v2.  How the
  single destination css is obtained is updated and the prep stage of
  mem_cgroup_can_attach() is reordered to accomodate the change.

* pids is the only controller which was affected by this bug.  It now
  correctly handles multi-destination migrations and no longer causes
  counter underflow from incorrect accounting.

b11cfb5807 cgroup: record ancestor IDs and reimplement cgroup_is_descendant() using it
cgroup_is_descendant() currently walks up the hierarchy and compares
each ancestor to the cgroup in question.  While enough for cgroup core
usages, this can't be used in hot paths to test cgroup membership.
This patch adds cgroup->ancestor_ids[] which records the IDs of all
ancestors including self and cgroup->level for the nesting level.

This allows testing whether a given cgroup is a descendant of another
in three finite steps - testing whether the two belong to the same
hierarchy, whether the descendant candidate is at the same or a higher
level than the ancestor and comparing the recorded ancestor_id at the
matching level.  cgroup_is_descendant() is accordingly reimplmented
and made inline.

34c06254ff cgroup: fix cftype->file_offset handling
6f60eade24 ("cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and
notifying cgroup files") introduced cftype->file_offset so that the
handles for per-css file instances can be recorded.  These handles
then can be used, for example, to generate file modified
notifications.

Unfortunately, it made the wrong assumption that files are created
once for a given css and removed on its destruction.  Due to the
dependencies among subsystems, a css may be hidden from userland and
then later shown again.  This is implemented by removing and
re-creating the affected files, so the associated kernfs_node for a
given cgroup file may change over time.  This incorrect assumption led
to the corruption of css->files lists.

Reimplement cftype->file_offset handling so that cgroup_file->kn is
protected by a lock and updated as files are created and destroyed.
This also makes keeping them on per-cgroup list unnecessary.

2e91fa7f6d cgroup: keep zombies associated with their original cgroups
cgroup_exit() is called when a task exits and disassociates the
exiting task from its cgroups and half-attach it to the root cgroup.
This is unnecessary and undesirable.

No controller actually needs an exiting task to be disassociated with
non-root cgroups.  Both cpu and perf_event controllers update the
association to the root cgroup from their exit callbacks just to keep
consistent with the cgroup core behavior.

Also, this disassociation makes it difficult to track resources held
by zombies or determine where the zombies came from.  Currently, pids
controller is completely broken as it uncharges on exit and zombies
always escape the resource restriction.  With cgroup association being
reset on exit, fixing it is pretty painful.

There's no reason to reset cgroup membership on exit.  The zombie can
be removed from its css_set so that it doesn't show up on
"cgroup.procs" and thus can't be migrated or interfere with cgroup
removal.  It can still pin and point to the css_set so that its cgroup
membership is maintained.  This patch makes cgroup core keep zombies
associated with their cgroups at the time of exit.

* Previous patches decoupled populated_cnt tracking from css_set
  lifetime, so a dying task can be simply unlinked from its css_set
  while pinning and pointing to the css_set.  This keeps css_set
  association from task side alive while hiding it from "cgroup.procs"
  and populated_cnt tracking.  The css_set reference is dropped when
  the task_struct is freed.

* ->exit() callback no longer needs the css arguments as the
  associated css never changes once PF_EXITING is set.  Removed.

* cpu and perf_events controllers no longer need ->exit() callbacks.
  There's no reason to explicitly switch away on exit.  The final
  schedule out is enough.  The callbacks are removed.

* On traditional hierarchies, nothing changes.  "/proc/PID/cgroup"
  still reports "/" for all zombies.  On the default hierarchy,
  "/proc/PID/cgroup" keeps reporting the cgroup that the task belonged
  to at the time of exit.  If the cgroup gets removed before the task
  is reaped, " (deleted)" is appended.

v2: Build brekage due to missing dummy cgroup_free() when
    !CONFIG_CGROUP fixed.

ed27b9f7a1 cgroup: don't hold css_set_rwsem across css task iteration
css_sets are synchronized through css_set_rwsem but the locking scheme
is kinda bizarre.  The hot paths - fork and exit - have to write lock
the rwsem making the rw part pointless; furthermore, many readers
already hold cgroup_mutex.

One of the readers is css task iteration.  It read locks the rwsem
over the entire duration of iteration.  This leads to silly locking
behavior.  When cpuset tries to migrate processes of a cgroup to a
different NUMA node, css_set_rwsem is held across the entire migration
attempt which can take a long time locking out forking, exiting and
other cgroup operations.

This patch updates css task iteration so that it locks css_set_rwsem
only while the iterator is being advanced.  css task iteration
involves two levels - css_set and task iteration.  As css_sets in use
are practically immutable, simply pinning the current one is enough
for resuming iteration afterwards.  Task iteration is tricky as tasks
may leave their css_set while iteration is in progress.  This is
solved by keeping track of active iterators and advancing them if
their next task leaves its css_set.

v2: put_task_struct() in css_task_iter_next() moved outside
    css_set_rwsem.  A later patch will add cgroup operations to
    task_struct free path which may grab the same lock and this avoids
    deadlock possibilities.

    css_set_move_task() updated to use list_for_each_entry_safe() when
    walking task_iters and advancing them.  This is necessary as
    advancing an iter may remove it from the list.

0de0942db2 cgroup: make cgroup->nr_populated count the number of populated css_sets
Currently, cgroup->nr_populated counts whether the cgroup has any
css_sets linked to it and the number of children which has non-zero
->nr_populated.  This works because a css_set's refcnt converges with
the number of tasks linked to it and thus there's no css_set linked to
a cgroup if it doesn't have any live tasks.

To help tracking resource usage of zombie tasks, putting the ref of
css_set will be separated from disassociating the task from the
css_set which means that a cgroup may have css_sets linked to it even
when it doesn't have any live tasks.

This patch updates cgroup->nr_populated so that for the cgroup itself
it counts the number of css_sets which have tasks associated with them
so that empty css_sets don't skew the populated test.

6f60eade24 cgroup: generalize obtaining the handles of and notifying cgroup files
cgroup core handles creations and removals of cgroup interface files
as described by cftypes.  There are cases where the handle for a given
file instance is necessary, for example, to generate a file modified
event.  Currently, this is handled by explicitly matching the callback
method pointer and storing the file handle manually in
cgroup_add_file().  While this simple approach works for cgroup core
files, it can't for controller interface files.

This patch generalizes cgroup interface file handle handling.  struct
cgroup_file is defined and each cftype can optionally tell cgroup core
to store the file handle by setting ->file_offset.  A file handle
remains accessible as long as the containing css is accessible.

Both "cgroup.procs" and "cgroup.events" are converted to use the new
generic mechanism instead of hooking directly into cgroup_add_file().
Also, cgroup_file_notify() which takes a struct cgroup_file and
generates a file modified event on it is added and replaces explicit
kernfs_notify() invocations.

This generalizes cgroup file handle handling and allows controllers to
generate file modified notifications.

  not setting a write callback.

"cgroup.event_control" uses cftype->mode to make the file
world-writable.  It's a misdesigned interface and we don't want
controllers to be tweaking interface file permissions in general.

      the percpu_rwsem write down/up operations added to cgroup task
      migration path.  percpu_rwsem changes which alleviate the
      performance issue are pending for v4.4-rc1 merge window.
      Re-apply.

The cgroup side of threadgroup locking uses signal_struct->group_rwsem
to synchronize against threadgroup changes.  This per-process rwsem
adds small overhead to thread creation, exit and exec paths, forces
cgroup code paths to do lock-verify-unlock-retry dance in a couple
places and makes it impossible to atomically perform operations across
multiple processes.

This patch replaces signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global
percpu_rwsem cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem which is cheaper on the reader
side and contained in cgroups proper.  This patch converts one-to-one.

This does make writer side heavier and lower the granularity; however,
cgroup process migration is a fairly cold path, we do want to optimize
thread operations over it and cgroup migration operations don't take
enough time for the lower granularity to matter.

0c986253b9 Revert "sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"
This reverts commit d59cfc09c3.

d59cfc09c3 ("sched, cgroup: replace signal_struct->group_rwsem with
a global percpu_rwsem") and b5ba75b5fc ("cgroup: simplify
threadgroup locking") changed how cgroup synchronizes against task
fork and exits so that it uses global percpu_rwsem instead of
per-process rwsem; unfortunately, the write [un]lock paths of
percpu_rwsem always involve synchronize_rcu_expedited() which turned
out to be too expensive.

Improvements for percpu_rwsem are scheduled to be merged in the coming
v4.4-rc1 merge window which alleviates this issue.  For now, revert
the two commits to restore per-process rwsem.  They will be re-applied
for the v4.4-rc1 merge window.

3e1d2eed39 cgroup: introduce cgroup_subsys->legacy_name
This allows cgroup subsystems to use a different name on the unified
hierarchy.  cgroup_subsys->name is used on the unified hierarchy,
->legacy_name elsewhere.  If ->legacy_name is not explicitly set, it's
automatically set to ->name and the userland visible behavior remains
unchanged.

v2: Make parse_cgroupfs_options() only consider ->legacy_name as mount
    options are used only on legacy hierarchies.  Suggested by Li
    Zefan.
