cgroup: freezer: don't change task and cgroups status unnecessarily

It's not necessary to adjust the task state and revisit the state
of source and destination cgroups if the cgroups are not in freeze
state and the task itself is not frozen.

And in this scenario, it wakes up the task who's not supposed to be
ready to run.

Don't do the unnecessary task state adjustment can help stop waking
up the task without a reason.

cgroup: get rid of cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit()

A task should never enter the exit path with the task->frozen bit set.
Any frozen task must enter the signal handling loop and the only
way to escape is through cgroup_leave_frozen(true), which
unconditionally drops the task->frozen bit. So it means that
cgroyp_freezer_frozen_exit() has zero chances to be called and
has to be removed.

Let's put a WARN_ON_ONCE() instead of the cgroup_freezer_frozen_exit()
call to catch any potential leak of the task's frozen bit.

cgroup: prevent spurious transition into non-frozen state

If freezing of a cgroup races with waking of a task from
the frozen state (like waiting in vfork() or in do_signal_stop()),
a spurious transition of the cgroup state can happen.

The task enters cgroup_leave_frozen(true), the cgroup->nr_frozen_tasks
counter decrements, and the cgroup is switched to the unfrozen state.

To prevent it, let's reserve cgroup_leave_frozen(true) for
terminating processes and use cgroup_leave_frozen(false) otherwise.

To avoid busy-looping in the signal handling loop waiting
for JOBCTL_TRAP_FREEZE set from the cgroup freezing path,
let's do it explicitly in cgroup_leave_frozen(), if the task
is going to stay frozen.

cgroup: add tracing points for cgroup v2 freezer

Add cgroup:cgroup_freeze and cgroup:cgroup_unfreeze events,
which are using the existing cgroup tracing infrastructure.

Add the cgroup_event event class, which is similar to the cgroup
class, but contains an additional integer field to store a new
value (the level field is dropped).

Also add two tracing events: cgroup_notify_populated and
cgroup_notify_frozen, which are raised in a generic way using
the TRACE_CGROUP_PATH() macro.

This allows to trace cgroup state transitions and is generally
helpful for debugging the cgroup freezer code.

cgroup: cgroup v2 freezer

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.

cgroup: add @flags to css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS

css_task_iter currently always walks all tasks. With the scheduled
cgroup v2 thread support, the iterator would need to handle multiple
types of iteration. As a preparation, add @flags to
css_task_iter_start() and implement CSS_TASK_ITER_PROCS. If the flag
is not specified, it walks all tasks as before. When asserted, the
iterator only walks the group leaders.

For now, the only user of the flag is cgroup v2 "cgroup.procs" file
which no longer needs to skip non-leader tasks in cgroup_procs_next().
Note that cgroup v1 "cgroup.procs" can't use the group leader walk as
v1 "cgroup.procs" doesn't mean "list all thread group leaders in the
cgroup" but "list all thread group id's with any threads in the
cgroup".

While at it, update cgroup_procs_show() to use task_pid_vnr() instead
of task_tgid_vnr(). As the iteration guarantees that the function
only sees group leaders, this doesn't change the output and will allow
sharing the function for thread iteration.

cgroup: move cgroup files under kernel/cgroup/

They're growing to be too many and planned to get split further. Move
them under their own directory.

kernel/cgroup.c -> kernel/cgroup/cgroup.c
kernel/cgroup_freezer.c -> kernel/cgroup/freezer.c
kernel/cgroup_pids.c -> kernel/cgroup/pids.c
