Remove the dependency from cgroup-defs.h to bpf-cgroup.h and bpf.h. This reduces the incremental build size of x86 allmodconfig after bpf.h was touched from ~17k objects rebuilt to ~5k objects. bpf.h is 2.2kLoC and is modified relatively often. We need a new header with just the definition of struct cgroup_bpf and enum cgroup_bpf_attach_type, this is akin to cgroup-defs.h.

Fix cgroup v1 interference when non-root cgroup v2 BPF programs are used. Back in the days, commit bd1060a1 ("sock, cgroup: add sock->sk_cgroup") embedded per-socket cgroup information into sock->sk_cgrp_data and in order to save 8 bytes in struct sock made both mutually exclusive, that is, when cgroup v1 socket tagging (e.g. net_cls/net_prio) is used, then cgroup v2 falls back to the root cgroup in sock_cgroup_ptr() (&cgrp_dfl_root.cgrp). The assumption made was "there is no reason to mix the two and this is in line with how legacy and v2 compatibility is handled" as stated in bd1060a1. However, with Kubernetes more widely supporting cgroups v2 as well nowadays, this assumption no longer holds, and the possibility of the v1/v2 mixed mode with the v2 root fallback being hit becomes a real security issue. Many of the cgroup v2 BPF programs are also used for policy enforcement, just to pick _one_ example, that is, to programmatically deny socket related system calls like connect(2) or bind(2). A v2 root fallback would implicitly cause a policy bypass for the affected Pods. In production environments, we have recently seen this case due to various circumstances: i) a different 3rd party agent and/or ii) a container runtime such as [0] in the user's environment configuring legacy cgroup v1 net_cls tags, which triggered implicitly mentioned root fallback. Another case is Kubernetes projects like kind [1] which create Kubernetes nodes in a container and also add cgroup namespaces to the mix, meaning programs which are attached to the cgroup v2 root of the cgroup namespace get attached to a non-root cgroup v2 path from init namespace point of view. And the latter's root is out of reach for agents on a kind Kubernetes node to configure. Meaning, any entity on the node setting cgroup v1 net_cls tag will trigger the bypass despite cgroup v2 BPF programs attached to the namespace root. Generally, this mutual exclusiveness does not hold anymore in today's user environments and makes cgroup v2 usage from BPF side fragile and unreliable. This fix adds proper struct cgroup pointer for the cgroup v2 case to struct sock_cgroup_data in order to address these issues; this implicitly also fixes the tradeoffs being made back then with regards to races and refcount leaks as stated in bd1060a1, and removes the fallback, so that cgroup v2 BPF programs always operate as expected.

PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it at each level of the hierarchy. This causes additional overhead with psi_avgs_work being called for each cgroup in the hierarchy. psi_avgs_work has been highly optimized, however on systems with large number of cgroups the overhead becomes noticeable. Systems which use PSI only at the system level could avoid this overhead if PSI can be configured to skip per-cgroup stall accounting. Add "cgroup_disable=pressure" kernel command-line option to allow requesting system-wide only pressure stall accounting. When set, it keeps system-wide accounting under /proc/pressure/ but skips accounting for individual cgroups and does not expose PSI nodes in cgroup hierarchy.

Introduce the cgroup.kill file. It does what it says on the tin and allows a caller to kill a cgroup by writing "1" into cgroup.kill. The file is available in non-root cgroups. Killing cgroups is a process directed operation, i.e. the whole thread-group is affected. Consequently trying to write to cgroup.kill in threaded cgroups will be rejected and EOPNOTSUPP returned. This behavior aligns with cgroup.procs where reads in threaded-cgroups are rejected with EOPNOTSUPP. The cgroup.kill file is write-only since killing a cgroup is an event not which makes it different from e.g. freezer where a cgroup transitions between the two states. As with all new cgroup features cgroup.kill is recursive by default. Killing a cgroup is protected against concurrent migrations through the cgroup mutex. To protect against forkbombs and to mitigate the effect of racing forks a new CGRP_KILL css set lock protected flag is introduced that is set prior to killing a cgroup and unset after the cgroup has been killed. We can then check in cgroup_post_fork() where we hold the css set lock already whether the cgroup is currently being killed. If so we send the child a SIGKILL signal immediately taking it down as soon as it returns to userspace. To make the killing of the child semantically clean it is killed after all cgroup attachment operations have been finalized. There are various use-cases of this interface: - Containers usually have a conservative layout where each container usually has a delegated cgroup. For such layouts there is a 1:1 mapping between container and cgroup. If the container in addition uses a separate pid namespace then killing a container usually becomes a simple kill -9 <container-init-pid> from an ancestor pid namespace. However, there are quite a few scenarios where that isn't true. For example, there are containers that share the cgroup with other processes on purpose that are supposed to be bound to the lifetime of the container but are not in the same pidns of the container. Containers that are in a delegated cgroup but share the pid namespace with the host or other containers. - Service managers such as systemd use cgroups to group and organize processes belonging to a service. They usually rely on a recursive algorithm now to kill a service. With cgroup.kill this becomes a simple write to cgroup.kill. - Userspace OOM implementations can make good use of this feature to efficiently take down whole cgroups quickly. - The kill program can gain a new kill --cgroup /sys/fs/cgroup/delegated flag to take down cgroups. A few observations about the semantics: - If parent and child are in the same cgroup and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP is not specified we are not taking cgroup mutex meaning the cgroup can be killed while a process in that cgroup is forking. If the kill request happens right before cgroup_can_fork() and before the parent grabs its siglock the parent is guaranteed to see the pending SIGKILL. In addition we perform another check in cgroup_post_fork() whether the cgroup is being killed and is so take down the child (see above). This is robust enough and protects gainst forkbombs. If userspace really really wants to have stricter protection the simple solution would be to grab the write side of the cgroup threadgroup rwsem which will force all ongoing forks to complete before killing starts. We concluded that this is not necessary as the semantics for concurrent forking should simply align with freezer where a similar check as cgroup_post_fork() is performed. For all other cases CLONE_INTO_CGROUP is required. In this case we will grab the cgroup mutex so the cgroup can't be killed while we fork. Once we're done with the fork and have dropped cgroup mutex we are visible and will be found by any subsequent kill request. - We obviously don't kill kthreads. This means a cgroup that has a kthread will not become empty after killing and consequently no unpopulated event will be generated. The assumption is that kthreads should be in the root cgroup only anyway so this is not an issue. - We skip killing tasks that already have pending fatal signals. - Freezer doesn't care about tasks in different pid namespaces, i.e. if you have two tasks in different pid namespaces the cgroup would still be frozen. The cgroup.kill mechanism consequently behaves the same way, i.e. we kill all processes and ignore in which pid namespace they exist. - If the caller is located in a cgroup that is killed the caller will obviously be killed as well.

When we clone a socket in sk_clone_lock(), its sk_cgrp_data is copied, so the cgroup refcnt must be taken too. And, unlike the sk_alloc() path, sock_update_netprioidx() is not called here. Therefore, it is safe and necessary to grab the cgroup refcnt even when cgroup_sk_alloc is disabled. sk_clone_lock() is in BH context anyway, the in_interrupt() would terminate this function if called there. And for sk_alloc() skcd->val is always zero. So it's safe to factor out the code to make it more readable. The global variable 'cgroup_sk_alloc_disabled' is used to determine whether to take these reference counts. It is impossible to make the reference counting correct unless we save this bit of information in skcd->val. So, add a new bit there to record whether the socket has already taken the reference counts. This obviously relies on kmalloc() to align cgroup pointers to at least 4 bytes, ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN is certainly larger than that. This bug seems to be introduced since the beginning, commit d979a39d ("cgroup: duplicate cgroup reference when cloning sockets") tried to fix it but not compeletely. It seems not easy to trigger until the recent commit 090e28b2 ("netprio_cgroup: Fix unlimited memory leak of v2 cgroups") was merged.

由 Johannes Weiner 提交于
Right now, the effective protection of any given cgroup is capped by its own explicit memory.low setting, regardless of what the parent says. The reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all memory.low up the tree. Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly undesirable in real life scenarios. Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a distinction between system management software and the actual workload the system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual services, job components etc. We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order to get protection from system management software in general. This results in very inefficient resource distribution. Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree. It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be effective. To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating, children to further specify distribution rules. That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings, those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings - with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the cgroups in neighboring trees. E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings. This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another (system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without nested groups having to echo higher-level settings. The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection. Consider the following example tree: A A: low = 2G / \ A1: low = 1G A1 A2 A2: low = 0G As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G. There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high "bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

This adds support for creating a process in a different cgroup than its parent. Callers can limit and account processes and threads right from the moment they are spawned: - A service manager can directly spawn new services into dedicated cgroups. - A process can be directly created in a frozen cgroup and will be frozen as well. - The initial accounting jitter experienced by process supervisors and daemons is eliminated with this. - Threaded applications or even thread implementations can choose to create a specific cgroup layout where each thread is spawned directly into a dedicated cgroup. This feature is limited to the unified hierarchy. Callers need to pass a directory file descriptor for the target cgroup. The caller can choose to pass an O_PATH file descriptor. All usual migration restrictions apply, i.e. there can be no processes in inner nodes. In general, creating a process directly in a target cgroup adheres to all migration restrictions. One of the biggest advantages of this feature is that CLONE_INTO_GROUP does not need to grab the write side of the cgroup cgroup_threadgroup_rwsem. This global lock makes moving tasks/threads around super expensive. With clone3() this lock is avoided.

cgroup ID is currently allocated using a dedicated per-hierarchy idr and used internally and exposed through tracepoints and bpf. This is confusing because there are tracepoints and other interfaces which use the cgroupfs ino as IDs. The preceding changes made kn->id exposed as ino as 64bit ino on supported archs or ino+gen (low 32bits as ino, high gen). There's no reason for cgroup to use different IDs. The kernfs IDs are unique and userland can easily discover them and map them back to paths using standard file operations. This patch replaces cgroup IDs with kernfs IDs. * cgroup_id() is added and all cgroup ID users are converted to use it. * kernfs_node creation is moved to earlier during cgroup init so that cgroup_id() is available during init. * While at it, s/cgroup/cgrp/ in psi helpers for consistency. * Fallback ID value is changed to 1 to be consistent with root cgroup ID.

memory.stat and other files already consider subtrees in their output, and we should too in order to not present an inconsistent interface. The current situation is fairly confusing, because people interacting with cgroups expect hierarchical behaviour in the vein of memory.stat, cgroup.events, and other files. For example, this causes confusion when debugging reclaim events under low, as currently these always read "0" at non-leaf memcg nodes, which frequently causes people to misdiagnose breach behaviour. The same confusion applies to other counters in this file when debugging issues. Aggregation is done at write time instead of at read-time since these counters aren't hot (unlike memory.stat which is per-page, so it does it at read time), and it makes sense to bundle this with the file notifications. After this patch, events are propagated up the hierarchy: [root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events low 0 high 0 max 0 oom 0 oom_kill 0 [root@ktst ~]# systemd-run -p MemoryMax=1 true Running as unit: run-r251162a189fb4562b9dabfdc9b0422f5.service [root@ktst ~]# cat /sys/fs/cgroup/system.slice/memory.events low 0 high 0 max 7 oom 1 oom_kill 1 As this is a change in behaviour, this can be reverted to the old behaviour by mounting with the `memory_localevents' flag set. However, we use the new behaviour by default as there's a lack of evidence that there are any current users of memory.events that would find this change undesirable. akpm: this is a behaviour change, so Cc:stable. THis is so that forthcoming distros which use cgroup v2 are more likely to pick up the revised behaviour.

Cgroup v1 implements the freezer controller, which provides an ability to stop the workload in a cgroup and temporarily free up some resources (cpu, io, network bandwidth and, potentially, memory) for some other tasks. Cgroup v2 lacks this functionality. This patch implements freezer for cgroup v2. Cgroup v2 freezer tries to put tasks into a state similar to jobctl stop. This means that tasks can be killed, ptraced (using PTRACE_SEIZE*), and interrupted. It is possible to attach to a frozen task, get some information (e.g. read registers) and detach. It's also possible to migrate a frozen tasks to another cgroup. This differs cgroup v2 freezer from cgroup v1 freezer, which mostly tried to imitate the system-wide freezer. However uninterruptible sleep is fine when all tasks are going to be frozen (hibernation case), it's not the acceptable state for some subset of the system. Cgroup v2 freezer is not supporting freezing kthreads. If a non-root cgroup contains kthread, the cgroup still can be frozen, but the kthread will remain running, the cgroup will be shown as non-frozen, and the notification will not be delivered. * PTRACE_ATTACH is not working because non-fatal signal delivery is blocked in frozen state. There are some interface differences between cgroup v1 and cgroup v2 freezer too, which are required to conform the cgroup v2 interface design principles: 1) There is no separate controller, which has to be turned on: the functionality is always available and is represented by cgroup.freeze and cgroup.events cgroup control files. 2) The desired state is defined by the cgroup.freeze control file. Any hierarchical configuration is allowed. 3) The interface is asynchronous. The actual state is available using cgroup.events control file ("frozen" field). There are no dedicated transitional states. 4) It's allowed to make any changes with the cgroup hierarchy (create new cgroups, remove old cgroups, move tasks between cgroups) no matter if some cgroups are frozen.

The number of descendant cgroups and the number of dying descendant cgroups are currently synchronized using the cgroup_mutex. The number of descendant cgroups will be required by the cgroup v2 freezer, which will use it to determine if a cgroup is frozen (depending on total number of descendants and number of frozen descendants). It's not always acceptable to grab the cgroup_mutex, especially from quite hot paths (e.g. exit()). To avoid this, let's additionally synchronize these counters using the css_set_lock. So, it's safe to read these counters with either cgroup_mutex or css_set_lock locked, and for changing both locks should be acquired.

To allow polling for custom events, add a .poll callback that can override the default. This is in preparation for pollable cgroup pressure files which have per-fd trigger configurations.

The only user of cgroup_subsys->free() callback is pids_cgrp_subsys which needs pids_free() to uncharge the pid. However, ->free() is called from __put_task_struct()->cgroup_free() and this is too late. Even the trivial program which does for (;;) { int pid = fork(); assert(pid >= 0); if (pid) wait(NULL); else exit(0); } can run out of limits because release_task()->call_rcu(delayed_put_task_struct) implies an RCU gp after the task/pid goes away and before the final put(). Test-case: mkdir -p /tmp/CG mount -t cgroup2 none /tmp/CG echo '+pids' > /tmp/CG/cgroup.subtree_control mkdir /tmp/CG/PID echo 2 > /tmp/CG/PID/pids.max perl -e 'while ($p = fork) { wait; } $p // die "fork failed: $!\n"' & echo $! > /tmp/CG/PID/cgroup.procs Without this patch the forking process fails soon after migration. Rename cgroup_subsys->free() to cgroup_subsys->release() and move the callsite into the new helper, cgroup_release(), called by release_task() which actually frees the pid(s). Reported-by: NHerton R.

For debugging purpose, it will be useful to expose the content of the subparts_cpus as a read-only file to see if the code work correctly. However, subparts_cpus will not be used at all in most use cases. So adding a new cpuset file that clutters the cgroup directory may not be desirable. This is now being done by using the hidden "cgroup_debug" kernel command line option to expose a new "cpuset.cpus.subpartitions" file. That option was originally used by the debug controller to expose itself when configured into the kernel. This is now extended to set an internal flag used by cgroup_addrm_files(). A new CFTYPE_DEBUG flag can now be used to specify that a cgroup file should only be created when the "cgroup_debug" option is specified.

On a system that executes multiple cgrouped jobs and independent workloads, we don't just care about the health of the overall system, but also that of individual jobs, so that we can ensure individual job health, fairness between jobs, or prioritize some jobs over others. This patch implements pressure stall tracking for cgroups. In kernels with CONFIG_PSI=y, cgroup2 groups will have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files that track aggregate pressure stall times for only the tasks inside the cgroup.

A cgroup which is already a threaded domain may be converted into a threaded cgroup if the prerequisite conditions are met. When this happens, all threaded descendant should also have their ->dom_cgrp updated to the new threaded domain cgroup. Unfortunately, this propagation was missing leading to the following failure. # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/unified # cat cgroup.subtree_control # show that no controllers are enabled # mkdir -p mycgrp/a/b/c # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/cgroup.type At this point, the hierarchy looks as follows: mycgrp [d] a [dt] b [t] c [inv] Now let's make node "a" threaded (and thus "mycgrp" s made "domain threaded"): # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/cgroup.type By this point, we now have a hierarchy that looks as follows: mycgrp [dt] a [t] b [t] c [inv] But, when we try to convert the node "c" from "domain invalid" to "threaded", we get ENOTSUP on the write(): # echo threaded > mycgrp/a/b/c/cgroup.type sh: echo: write error: Operation not supported This patch fixes the problem by * Moving the opencoded ->dom_cgrp save and restoration in cgroup_enable_threaded() into cgroup_{save|restore}_control() so that mulitple cgroups can be handled. * Updating all threaded descendants' ->dom_cgrp to point to the new dom_cgrp when enabling threaded mode.

Since IO can be issued from literally anywhere it's almost impossible to do throttling without having some sort of adverse effect somewhere else in the system because of locking or other dependencies. The best way to solve this is to do the throttling when we know we aren't holding any other kernel resources. Do this by tracking throttling in a per-blkg basis, and if we require throttling flag the task that it needs to check before it returns to user space and possibly sleep there. This is to address the case where a process is doing work that is generating IO that can't be throttled, whether that is directly with a lot of REQ_META IO, or indirectly by allocating so much memory that it is swamping the disk with REQ_SWAP. We can't use task_add_work as we don't want to induce a memory allocation in the IO path, so simply saving the request queue in the task and flagging it to do the notify_resume thing achieves the same result without the overhead of a memory allocation.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys->css_rstat_flush(). If a subsystem has this callback, its csses are linked on cgrp->css_rstat_list and rstat will call the function whenever the associated cgroup is flushed. Flush is also performed when such csses are released so that residual counts aren't lost. Combined with the rstat API previous patches factored out, this allows controllers to plug into rstat to manage their statistics in a scalable way. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Currently, its implementation is intermixed with rstat implementation making the code confusing to follow. This patch clarifies the distintion by doing the followings. * Encapsulate base resource stat counters, currently only cputime, in struct cgroup_base_stat. * Move prev_cputime into struct cgroup and initialize it with cgroup. * Rename the related functions so that they start with cgroup_base_stat. * Prefix the related variables and field names with b.

stat is too generic a name and ends up causing subtle confusions. It'll be made generic so that controllers can plug into it, which will make the problem worse. Let's rename it to something more specific - cgroup_rstat for cgroup recursive stat. This patch does the following renames. No other changes. * cpu_stat -> rstat_cpu * stat -> rstat * ?cstat -> ?rstatc Note that the renames are selective. The unrenamed are the ones which implement basic resource statistics on top of rstat. This will be further cleaned up in the following patches. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

".events" files generate file modified event to notify userland of possible new events. Some of the events can be quite bursty (e.g. memory high event) and generating notification each time is costly and pointless. This patch implements a event rate limit mechanism. If a new notification is requested before 10ms has passed since the previous notification, the new notification is delayed till then. As this only delays from the second notification on in a given close cluster of notifications, userland reactions to notifications shouldn't be delayed at all in most cases while avoiding notification storms.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

The basic cpu stat is currently shown with "cpu." prefix in cgroup.stat, and the same information is duplicated in cpu.stat when cpu controller is enabled. This is ugly and not very scalable as we want to expand the coverage of stat information which is always available. This patch makes cgroup core always create "cpu.stat" file and show the basic cpu stat there and calls the cpu controller to show the extra stats when enabled. This ensures that the same information isn't presented in multiple places and makes future expansion of basic stats easier.

In cgroup1, while cpuacct isn't actually controlling any resources, it is a separate controller due to combination of two factors - 1. enabling cpu controller has significant side effects, and 2. we have to pick one of the hierarchies to account CPU usages on. cpuacct controller is effectively used to designate a hierarchy to track CPU usages on. cgroup2's unified hierarchy removes the second reason and we can account basic CPU usages by default. While we can use cpuacct for this purpose, both its interface and implementation leave a lot to be desired - it collects and exposes two sources of truth which don't agree with each other and some of the exposed statistics don't make much sense. Also, it propagates all the way up the hierarchy on each accounting event which is unnecessary. This patch adds basic resource accounting mechanism to cgroup2's unified hierarchy and accounts CPU usages using it. * All accountings are done per-cpu and don't propagate immediately. It just bumps the per-cgroup per-cpu counters and links to the parent's updated list if not already on it. * On a read, the per-cpu counters are collected into the global ones and then propagated upwards. Only the per-cpu counters which have changed since the last read are propagated. * CPU usage stats are collected and shown in "cgroup.stat" with "cpu." prefix. Total usage is collected from scheduling events. User/sys breakdown is sourced from tick sampling and adjusted to the usage using cputime_adjust(). This keeps the accounting side hot path O(1) and per-cpu and the read side O(nr_updated_since_last_read). v2: Minor changes and documentation updates as suggested by Waiman and Roman.

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.

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.
