This patch is inspired by the discussion at
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/187 and implements per cgroup statistics
as suggested by Andrew Morton in http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/11/263. The
patch is on top of 2.6.21-mm1 with Paul's cgroups v9 patches (forward
ported)
This patch implements per cgroup statistics infrastructure and re-uses
code from the taskstats interface. A new set of cgroup operations are
registered with commands and attributes. It should be very easy to
*extend* per cgroup statistics, by adding members to the cgroupstats
structure.
The current model for cgroupstats is a pull, a push model (to post
statistics on interesting events), should be very easy to add. Currently
user space requests for statistics by passing the cgroup file
descriptor. Statistics about the state of all the tasks in the cgroup
is returned to user space.
TODO's/NOTE:
This patch provides an infrastructure for implementing cgroup statistics.
Based on the needs of each controller, we can incrementally add more statistics,
event based support for notification of statistics, accumulation of taskstats
into cgroup statistics in the future.
Sample output
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/a
sleeping 2, blocked 0, running 1, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
# ./cgroupstats -C /cgroup/
sleeping 154, blocked 0, running 0, stopped 0, uninterruptible 0
If the approach looks good, I'll enhance and post the user space utility for
the same
Feedback, comments, test results are always welcome!

This example demonstrates how to use the generic cgroup subsystem for a
simple resource tracker that counts, for the processes in a cgroup, the
total CPU time used and the %CPU used in the last complete 10 second interval.

Remove the filesystem support logic from the cpusets system and makes cpusets
a cgroup subsystem
The "cpuset" filesystem becomes a dummy filesystem; attempts to mount it get
passed through to the cgroup filesystem with the appropriate options to
emulate the old cpuset filesystem behaviour.

Add the following files to the cgroup filesystem:
notify_on_release - configures/reports whether the cgroup subsystem should
attempt to run a release script when this cgroup becomes unused
release_agent - configures/reports the release agent to be used for this
hierarchy (top level in each hierarchy only)
releasable - reports whether this cgroup would have been auto-released if
notify_on_release was true and a release agent was configured (mainly useful
for debugging)
To avoid locking issues, invoking the userspace release agent is done via a
workqueue task; cgroups that need to have their release agents invoked by
the workqueue task are linked on to a list.

Replace the struct css_set embedded in task_struct with a pointer; all tasks
that have the same set of memberships across all hierarchies will share a
css_set object, and will be linked via their css_sets field to the "tasks"
list_head in the css_set.
Assuming that many tasks share the same cgroup assignments, this reduces
overall space usage and keeps the size of the task_struct down (three pointers
added to task_struct compared to a non-cgroups kernel, no matter how many
subsystems are registered).

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.

The cpuset code to present a list of tasks using a cpuset to user space could
write to an array that it had kmalloc'd, after a kmalloc request of zero size.
The problem was that the code didn't check for writes past the allocated end
of the array until -after- the first write.
This is a race condition that is likely rare -- it would only show up if a
cpuset went from being empty to having a task in it, during the brief time
between the allocation and the first write.
Prior to roughly 2.6.22 kernels, this was also a benign problem, because a
zero kmalloc returned a few usable bytes anyway, and no harm was done with the
bogus write.
With the 2.6.22 kernel changes to make issue a warning if code tries to write
to the location returned from a zero size allocation, this problem is no
longer benign. This cpuset code would occassionally trigger that warning.
The fix is trivial -- check before storing into the array, not after, whether
the array is big enough to hold the store.

The non-filesystem capability meaning of CAP_SETPCAP is that a process, p1,
can change the capabilities of another process, p2. This is not the
meaning that was intended for this capability at all, and this
implementation came about purely because, without filesystem capabilities,
there was no way to use capabilities without one process bestowing them on
another.
Since we now have a filesystem support for capabilities we can fix the
implementation of CAP_SETPCAP.
The most significant thing about this change is that, with it in effect, no
process can set the capabilities of another process.
The capabilities of a program are set via the capability convolution
rules:
pI(post-exec) = pI(pre-exec)
pP(post-exec) = (X(aka cap_bset) & fP) | (pI(post-exec) & fI)
pE(post-exec) = fE ? pP(post-exec) : 0
at exec() time. As such, the only influence the pre-exec() program can
have on the post-exec() program's capabilities are through the pI
capability set.
The correct implementation for CAP_SETPCAP (and that enabled by this patch)
is that it can be used to add extra pI capabilities to the current process
- to be picked up by subsequent exec()s when the above convolution rules
are applied.
Here is how it works:
Let's say we have a process, p. It has capability sets, pE, pP and pI.
Generally, p, can change the value of its own pI to pI' where
(pI' & ~pI) & ~pP = 0.
That is, the only new things in pI' that were not present in pI need to
be present in pP.
The role of CAP_SETPCAP is basically to permit changes to pI beyond
the above:
if (pE & CAP_SETPCAP) {
pI' = anything; /* ie., even (pI' & ~pI) & ~pP != 0 */
}
This capability is useful for things like login, which (say, via
pam_cap) might want to raise certain inheritable capabilities for use
by the children of the logged-in user's shell, but those capabilities
are not useful to or needed by the login program itself.
One such use might be to limit who can run ping. You set the
capabilities of the 'ping' program to be "= cap_net_raw+i", and then
only shells that have (pI & CAP_NET_RAW) will be able to run
it. Without CAP_SETPCAP implemented as described above, login(pam_cap)
would have to also have (pP & CAP_NET_RAW) in order to raise this
capability and pass it on through the inheritable set.

After adding checking to register_sysctl_table and finding a whole new set
of bugs. Missed by countless code reviews and testers I have finally lost
patience with the binary sysctl interface.
The binary sysctl interface has been sort of deprecated for years and
finding a user space program that uses the syscall is more difficult then
finding a needle in a haystack. Problems continue to crop up, with the in
kernel implementation. So since supporting something that no one uses is
silly, deprecate sys_sysctl with a sufficient grace period and notice that
the handful of user space applications that care can be fixed or replaced.
The /proc/sys sysctl interface that people use will continue to be
supported indefinitely.
This patch moves the tested warning about sysctls from the path where
sys_sysctl to a separate path called from both implementations of
sys_sysctl, and it adds a proper entry into
Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.
Allowing us to revisit this in a couple years time and actually kill
sys_sysctl.

Well it turns out after I dug into the problems a little more I was returning
a few false positives so this patch updates my logic to remove them.
- Don't complain about 0 ctl_names in sysctl_check_binary_path
It is valid for someone to remove the sysctl binary interface
and still keep the same sysctl proc interface.
- Count ctl_names and procnames as matching if they both don't
exist.
- Only warn about missing min&max when the generic functions care.

After going through the kernels sysctl tables several times it has become
clear that code review and testing is just not effective in prevent
problematic sysctl tables from being used in the stable kernel. I certainly
can't seem to fix the problems as fast as they are introduced.
Therefore this patch adds sysctl_check_table which is called when a sysctl
table is registered and checks to see if we have a problematic sysctl table.
The biggest part of the code is the table of valid binary sysctl entries, but
since we have frozen our set of binary sysctls this table should not need to
change, and it makes it much easier to detect when someone unintentionally
adds a new binary sysctl value.
As best as I can determine all of the several hundred errors spewed on boot up
now are legitimate.

It looks like we inadvertently killed the cad_pid binary sysctl support when
cap_pid was changed to be a struct pid. Since no one has complained just
remove the binary path.

Instead of having a bunch of ifdefs in sysctl.c move all of the pty sysctl
logic into drivers/char/pty.c
As well as cleaning up the logic this prevents sysctl_check_table from
complaining that the root table has a NULL data pointer on something with
generic methods.

aio-nr, aio-max-nr, acpi_video_flags are unsigned long values which sysctl
does not handle properly with a 64bit kernel and a 32bit user space.
Since no one is likely to be using the binary sysctl values and the ascii
interface still works, this patch just removes support for the binary sysctl
interface from the kernel.

There as been no easy way to wrap the default sysctl strategy routine except
for returning 0. Which is not always what we want. The few instances I have
seen that want different behaviour have written their own version of
sysctl_data. While not too hard it is unnecessary code and has the potential
for extra bugs.
So to make these situations easier and make that part of sysctl more symetric
I have factord sysctl_data out of do_sysctl_strategy and exported as a
function everyone can use.
Further having sysctl_data be an explicit function makes checking for badly
formed sysctl tables much easier.

In sysctl.h the typedef struct ctl_table ctl_table violates coding style isn't
needed and is a bit of a nuisance because it makes it harder to recognize
ctl_table is a type name.
So this patch removes it from the generic sysctl code. Hopefully I will have
enough energy to send the rest of my patches will follow and to remove it from
the rest of the kernel.

CPU_UP_PREPARE
The functions in a CPU notifier chain is called with CPU_UP_PREPARE event
before making the CPU online. If one of the callback returns NOTIFY_BAD, it
stops to deliver CPU_UP_PREPARE event, and CPU online operation is canceled.
Then CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions in a CPU notifier
chain again.
This CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the functions which have been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE, not delivered to the functions which haven't been
called with CPU_UP_PREPARE.
The problem that makes existing cpu hotplug error handlings complex is that
the CPU_UP_CANCELED event is delivered to the function that has returned
NOTIFY_BAD, too.
Usually we don't expect to call destructor function against the object that
has failed to initialize. It is like:
err = register_something();
if (err) {
unregister_something();
return err;
}
So it is natural to deliver CPU_UP_CANCELED event only to the functions that
have returned NOTIFY_OK with CPU_UP_PREPARE event and not to call the function
that have returned NOTIFY_BAD. This is what this patch is doing.
Otherwise, every cpu hotplug notifiler has to track whether notifiler event is
failed or not for each cpu. (drivers/base/topology.c is doing this with
topology_dev_map)
Similary this patch makes same thing with CPU_DOWN_PREPARE and CPU_DOWN_FAILED
evnets.

On platforms that copy sys_tz into the vdso (currently only x86_64, soon to
include powerpc), it is possible for the vdso to get out of sync if a user
calls (admittedly unusual) settimeofday(NULL, ptr).
This patch adds a hook for architectures that set
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME_VSYSCALL to ensure when sys_tz is updated they can also
updatee their copy in the vdso.

Make hibernation_platform_enter() execute the enter-a-sleep-state sequence
instead of the mixed shutdown-with-entering-S4 thing.
Replace the shutting down of devices done by kernel_shutdown_prepare(), before
entering the ACPI S4 sleep state, with suspending them and the shutting down
of sysdevs with calling device_power_down(PMSG_SUSPEND) (just like before
entering S1 or S3, but the target state is now S4). Also, disable the
nonboot CPUs before entering the sleep state (S4), which generally always is a
good idea.
This is known to fix the "double disk spin down during hibernation" on some
machines, eg. HPC nx6325 (ref. http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/8/7/316 and the
following thread). Moreover, it has been reported to make
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm work correctly with hibernation for some users.
It also generally causes the hibernation state (ACPI S4) to be entered faster.
