<title>cgroup: Optimize single thread migration</title>

<id>9a3284fad42f66bb43629c6716709ff791aaa457</id>
<content type='text'>
There are reports of users who use thread migrations between cgroups and
they report performance drop after d59cfc09c32a ("sched, cgroup: replace
signal_struct-&gt;group_rwsem with a global percpu_rwsem"). The effect is
pronounced on machines with more CPUs.

The migration is affected by forking noise happening in the background,
after the mentioned commit a migrating thread must wait for all
(forking) processes on the system, not only of its threadgroup.

There are several places that need to synchronize with migration:
	a) do_exit,
	b) de_thread,
	c) copy_process,
	d) cgroup_update_dfl_csses,
	e) parallel migration (cgroup_{proc,thread}s_write).

In the case of self-migrating thread, we relax the synchronization on
cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem to avoid the cost of waiting. d) and e) are
excluded with cgroup_mutex, c) does not matter in case of single thread
migration and the executing thread cannot exec(2) or exit(2) while it is
writing into cgroup.threads. In case of do_exit because of signal
delivery, we either exit before the migration or finish the migration
(of not yet PF_EXITING thread) and die afterwards.

This patch handles only the case of self-migration by writing "0" into
cgroup.threads. For simplicity, we always take cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem
with numeric PIDs.

This change improves migration dependent workload performance similar
to per-signal_struct state.

To use the TRACE_CGROUP_PATH() macro with css_set_lock
locked, let's make the macro irq-safe.
It's necessary in order to trace cgroup freezer state
transitions (frozen/not frozen), which are happening
with css_set_lock locked.

<title>cgroup: implement __cgroup_task_count() helper</title>

The helper is identical to the existing cgroup_task_count()
except it doesn't take the css_set_lock by itself, assuming
that the caller does.

Also, move cgroup_task_count() implementation into
kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c, as there is nothing specific to cgroup v1.

<title>kernfs, sysfs, cgroup, intel_rdt: Support fs_context</title>

<id>23bf1b6be9c291a7130118dcc7384f72ac04d813</id>
<content type='text'>
Make kernfs support superblock creation/mount/remount with fs_context.

This requires that sysfs, cgroup and intel_rdt, which are built on kernfs,
be made to support fs_context also.

Notes:

 (1) A kernfs_fs_context struct is created to wrap fs_context and the
     kernfs mount parameters are moved in here (or are in fs_context).

 (2) kernfs_mount{,_ns}() are made into kernfs_get_tree().  The extra
     namespace tag parameter is passed in the context if desired

 (3) kernfs_free_fs_context() is provided as a destructor for the
     kernfs_fs_context struct, but for the moment it does nothing except
     get called in the right places.

 (4) sysfs doesn't wrap kernfs_fs_context since it has no parameters to
     pass, but possibly this should be done anyway in case someone wants to
     add a parameter in future.

 (5) A cgroup_fs_context struct is created to wrap kernfs_fs_context and
     the cgroup v1 and v2 mount parameters are all moved there.

 (6) cgroup1 parameter parsing error messages are now handled by invalf(),
     which allows userspace to collect them directly.

 (7) cgroup1 parameter cleanup is now done in the context destructor rather
     than in the mount/get_tree and remount functions.

Weirdies:

 (*) cgroup_do_get_tree() calls cset_cgroup_from_root() with locks held,
     but then uses the resulting pointer after dropping the locks.  I'm
     told this is okay and needs commenting.

 (*) The cgroup refcount web.  This really needs documenting.

 (*) cgroup2 only has one root?

Add a suggestion from Thomas Gleixner in which the RDT enablement code is
placed into its own function.

[folded a leak fix from Andrey Vagin]

Store the results in cgroup_fs_context.  There's a nasty twist caused
by the enabling/disabling subsystems - we can't do the checks sensitive
to that until cgroup_mutex gets grabbed.  Frankly, these checks are
complete bullshit (e.g. all,none combination is accepted if all subsystems
are disabled; so's cpusets,none and all,cpusets when cpusets is disabled,
etc.), but touching that would be a userland-visible behaviour change ;-/

So we do parsing in -&gt;parse_monolithic() and have the consistency checks
done in check_cgroupfs_options(), with the latter called (on already parsed
options) from cgroup1_get_tree() and cgroup1_reconfigure().

Freeing the strdup'ed strings is done from fs_context destructor, which
somewhat simplifies the life for cgroup1_{get_tree,reconfigure}().
