      sched: cpu accounting controller (V2) · d842de87
      Srivatsa Vaddagiri 提交于
      Commit cfb52856 removed a useful feature for
      us, which provided a cpu accounting resource controller.  This feature would be
      useful if someone wants to group tasks only for accounting purpose and doesnt
      really want to exercise any control over their cpu consumption.
      
      The patch below reintroduces the feature. It is based on Paul Menage's
      original patch (Commit 62d0df64), with
      these differences:
      
              - Removed load average information. I felt it needs more thought (esp
      	  to deal with SMP and virtualized platforms) and can be added for
      	  2.6.25 after more discussions.
              - Convert group cpu usage to be nanosecond accurate (as rest of the cfs
      	  stats are) and invoke cpuacct_charge() from the respective scheduler
      	  classes
      	- Make accounting scalable on SMP systems by splitting the usage
      	  counter to be per-cpu
      	- Move the code from kernel/cpu_acct.c to kernel/sched.c (since the
      	  code is not big enough to warrant a new file and also this rightly
      	  needs to live inside the scheduler. Also things like accessing
      	  rq->lock while reading cpu usage becomes easier if the code lived in
      	  kernel/sched.c)
      
      The patch also modifies the cpu controller not to provide the same accounting
      information.
      Tested-by: NBalbir Singh <balbir@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
      
       Tested the patches on top of 2.6.24-rc3. The patches work fine. Ran
       some simple tests like cpuspin (spin on the cpu), ran several tasks in
       the same group and timed them. Compared their time stamps with
       cpuacct.usage.

      pidns: Place under CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL · 57d5f66b
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      This is my trivial patch to swat innumerable little bugs with a single
      blow.
      
      After some intensive review (my apologies for not having gotten to this
      sooner) what we have looks like a good base to build on with the current
      pid namespace code but it is not complete, and it is still much to simple
      to find issues where the kernel does the wrong thing outside of the initial
      pid namespace.
      
      Until the dust settles and we are certain we have the ABI and the
      implementation is as correct as humanly possible let's keep process ID
      namespaces behind CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.
      
      Allowing us the option of fixing any ABI or other bugs we find as long as
      they are minor.
      
      Allowing users of the kernel to avoid those bugs simply by ensuring their
      kernel does not have support for multiple pid namespaces.

      revert "Task Control Groups: example CPU accounting subsystem" · cfb52856
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      Revert 62d0df64.
      
      This was originally intended as a simple initial example of how to create a
      control groups subsystem; it wasn't intended for mainline, but I didn't make
      this clear enough to Andrew.
      
      The CFS cgroup subsystem now has better functionality for the per-cgroup usage
      accounting (based directly on CFS stats) than the "usage" status file in this
      patch, and the "load" status file is rather simplistic - although having a
      per-cgroup load average report would be a useful feature, I don't believe this
      patch actually provides it.  If it gets into the final 2.6.24 we'd probably
      have to support this interface for ever.

      [PATCH] audit: watching subtrees · 74c3cbe3
      Al Viro 提交于
      New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
      The part that can be sanely implemented, that is.  Limitations:
      	* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
      it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
      	* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
      that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
      	* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
      elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there.  New command
      tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
      positives.
      
      Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
      (multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
      _not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

      cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystem · 858d72ea
      Serge E. Hallyn 提交于
      When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup
      is created and the task moves into it.
      
      This version names cgroups which are automatically created using
      cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or
      cloned process.  (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the
      process unshares again, it will create
      
      	/cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid>
      
      The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are
      
      	1. pid wraparound
      	2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again.
      
      Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now).  In case 2, the
      node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare()
      succeed.
      
      Changelog:
      	Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>".

      Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework · ddbcc7e8
      Paul Menage 提交于
      Generic Process Control Groups
      --------------------------
      
      There have recently been various proposals floating around for
      resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
      the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
      cgroups, and others.  These all need the basic abstraction of being
      able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
      track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
      other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
      different ways.
      
      This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
      into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
      groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
      aggregate.
      
      The intention is that the various resource management and
      virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
      clients, with the result that:
      
      - the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised
      
      - it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
       conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
      them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.
      
      - the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
       management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
       to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
       chances of getting into the kernel
      
      This patch:
      
      Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the
      basic structures for tracking membership and associating subsystem state
      objects to tasks.

      signal/timer/event: eventfd core · e1ad7468
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is a very simple and light file descriptor, that can be used as event
      wait/dispatch by userspace (both wait and dispatch) and by the kernel
      (dispatch only).  It can be used instead of pipe(2) in all cases where those
      would simply be used to signal events.  Their kernel overhead is much lower
      than pipes, and they do not consume two fds.  When used in the kernel, it can
      offer an fd-bridge to enable, for example, functionalities like KAIO or
      syslets/threadlets to signal to an fd the completion of certain operations.
      But more in general, an eventfd can be used by the kernel to signal readiness,
      in a POSIX poll/select way, of interfaces that would otherwise be incompatible
      with it.  The API is:
      
      int eventfd(unsigned int count);
      
      The eventfd API accepts an initial "count" parameter, and returns an eventfd
      fd.  It supports poll(2) (POLLIN, POLLOUT, POLLERR), read(2) and write(2).
      
      The POLLIN flag is raised when the internal counter is greater than zero.
      
      The POLLOUT flag is raised when at least a value of "1" can be written to the
      internal counter.
      
      The POLLERR flag is raised when an overflow in the counter value is detected.
      
      The write(2) operation can never overflow the counter, since it blocks (unless
      O_NONBLOCK is set, in which case -EAGAIN is returned).
      
      But the eventfd_signal() function can do it, since it's supposed to not sleep
      during its operation.
      
      The read(2) function reads the __u64 counter value, and reset the internal
      value to zero.  If the value read is equal to (__u64) -1, an overflow happened
      on the internal counter (due to 2^64 eventfd_signal() posts that has never
      been retired - unlickely, but possible).
      
      The write(2) call writes an __u64 count value, and adds it to the current
      counter.  The eventfd fd supports O_NONBLOCK also.
      
      On the kernel side, we have:
      
      struct file *eventfd_fget(int fd);
      int eventfd_signal(struct file *file, unsigned int n);
      
      The eventfd_fget() should be called to get a struct file* from an eventfd fd
      (this is an fget() + check of f_op being an eventfd fops pointer).
      
      The kernel can then call eventfd_signal() every time it wants to post an event
      to userspace.  The eventfd_signal() function can be called from any context.
      An eventfd() simple test and bench is available here:
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-bench.c
      
      This is the eventfd-based version of pipetest-4 (pipe(2) based):
      
      http://www.xmailserver.org/pipetest-4.c
      
      Not that performance matters much in the eventfd case, but eventfd-bench
      shows almost as double as performance than pipetest-4.
