[PATCH] delay accounting taskstats interface send tgid once

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.

Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.

This patch modifies this sending in two ways:

- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
  exits.  This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
  per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
  interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats

- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed.  Instead of being
  the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
  true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
  the thread group.

The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.

The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

To obtain statistics for tasks which are exiting, userspace opens a multicast
netlink socket. Each time a task exits, two records are sent by the kernel to
each listener on the multicast socket. The first the per-pid task's statistics
and the second is the sum for all tasks of the process to which the task
belongs (the task does not need to be the thread group leader). The need for
per-tgid stats to be sent for each exiting task is explained in the per-tgid

by the kernel to each listener on the multicast socket. In addition, if it is
the last thread exiting its thread group, an additional record containing the
per-tgid stats are also sent. The latter contains the sum of per-pid stats for
all threads in the thread group, both past and present.

of atomicity).
However, maintaining per-process, in addition to per-task stats, within the
kernel has space and time overheads. Hence the taskstats implementation
dynamically sums up the per-task stats for each task belonging to a process
whenever per-process stats are needed.
Not maintaining per-tgid stats creates a problem when userspace is interested
in getting these stats when the process dies i.e. the last thread of
a process exits. It isn't possible to simply return some aggregated per-process
statistic from the kernel.
The approach taken by taskstats is to return the per-tgid stats *each* time
a task exits, in addition to the per-pid stats for that task. Userspace can
maintain task<->process mappings and use them to maintain the per-process stats
in userspace, updating the aggregate appropriately as the tasks of a process
exit.
kernel has space and time overheads. To address this, the taskstats code
accumalates each exiting task's statistics into a process-wide data structure.
When the last task of a process exits, the process level data accumalated also
gets sent to userspace (along with the per-task data).
When a user queries to get per-tgid data, the sum of all other live threads in
the group is added up and added to the accumalated total for previously exited
threads of the same thread group.
