delayacct: Remove the now superfluous sentinel elements from ctl_table array

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which
will reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)

Remove sentinel element from kern_delayacct_table

delayacct: track delays from IRQ/SOFTIRQ

Delay accounting does not track the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ. While
IRQ/SOFTIRQ could have obvious impact on some workloads productivity, such
as when workloads are running on system which is busy handling network
IRQ/SOFTIRQ.

Get the delay of IRQ/SOFTIRQ could help users to reduce such delay. Such
as setting interrupt affinity or task affinity, using kernel thread for
NAPI etc. This is inspired by "sched/psi: Add PSI_IRQ to track
IRQ/SOFTIRQ pressure"[1]. Also fix some code indent problems of older
code.

And update tools/accounting/getdelays.c:

delayacct: support re-entrance detection of thrashing accounting

Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].

For page cache thrashing accounting, there is no suitable place to do it
in fs level likes swap_readpage(). So we have to do it in
folio_wait_bit_common().

Then for anonymous pages thrashing accounting, we have to do it in both
swap_readpage() and folio_wait_bit_common(). This likes PSI, so we should
let thrashing accounting supports re-entrance detection.

This patch is to prepare complete thrashing accounting, and is based on
patch "filemap: make the accounting of thrashing more consistent".

kernel/delayacct: move delayacct sysctls to its own file

kernel/sysctl.c is a kitchen sink where everyone leaves their dirty
dishes, this makes it very difficult to maintain.

To help with this maintenance let's start by moving sysctls to places
where they actually belong. The proc sysctl maintainers do not want to
know what sysctl knobs you wish to add for your own piece of code, we
just care about the core logic.

All filesystem syctls now get reviewed by fs folks. This commit
follows the commit of fs, move the delayacct sysctl to its own file,

delayacct: support swapin delay accounting for swapping without blkio

Currently delayacct accounts swapin delay only for swapping that cause
blkio. If we use zram for swapping, tools/accounting/getdelays can't
get any SWAP delay.

It's useful to get zram swapin delay information, for example to adjust
compress algorithm or /proc/sys/vm/swappiness.

Reference to PSI, it accounts any kind of swapping by doing its work in
swap_readpage(), no matter whether swapping causes blkio. Let delayacct
do the similar work.

sched: Simplify sched_info_on()

The situation around sched_info is somewhat complicated, it is used by
sched_stats and delayacct and, indirectly, kvm.

If SCHEDSTATS=Y (but disabled by default) sched_info_on() is
unconditionally true -- this is the case for all distro kernel configs
I checked.

If for some reason SCHEDSTATS=N, but TASK_DELAY_ACCT=Y, then
sched_info_on() can return false when delayacct is disabled,
presumably because there would be no other users left; except kvm is.

Instead of complicating matters further by accurately accounting
sched_stat and kvm state, simply unconditionally enable when
SCHED_INFO=Y, matching the common distro case.

delayacct: track delays from thrashing cache pages

Delay accounting already measures the time a task spends in direct reclaim
and waiting for swapin, but in low memory situations tasks spend can spend
a significant amount of their time waiting on thrashing page cache. This
isn't tracked right now.

To know the full impact of memory contention on an individual task,
measure the delay when waiting for a recently evicted active cache page to
read back into memory.

delayacct: Use raw_spinlocks

try_to_wake_up() might invoke delayacct_blkio_end() while holding the
pi_lock (which is a raw_spinlock_t). delayacct_blkio_end() acquires
task_delay_info.lock which is a spinlock_t. This causes a might sleep splat
on -RT where non raw spinlocks are converted to 'sleeping' spinlocks.

task_delay_info.lock is only held for a short amount of time so it's not a
problem latency wise to make convert it to a raw spinlock.

# c96f5471 18-Dec-2017 Josh Snyder <joshs@netflix.com>

delayacct: Account blkio completion on the correct task

Before commit:

e33a9bba85a8 ("sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler")

delayacct_blkio_end() was called after context-switching into the task which
completed I/O.

This resulted in double counting: the task would account a delay both waiting
for I/O and for time spent in the runqueue.

With e33a9bba85a8, delayacct_blkio_end() is called by try_to_wake_up().
In ttwu, we have not yet context-switched. This is more correct, in that
the delay accounting ends when the I/O is complete.

But delayacct_blkio_end() relies on 'get_current()', and we have not yet
context-switched into the task whose I/O completed. This results in the
wrong task having its delay accounting statistics updated.

Instead of doing that, pass the task_struct being woken to delayacct_blkio_end(),
so that it can update the statistics of the correct task.

kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcg

Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from
userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to
memcg. For the list, see below:

- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems. This is the most tedious part, because
most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method.

The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects.
Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and
keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to
breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account
everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in
fact).

posix timer implementation which maps to ktime_get_ts(). Remove the
silly wrapper while at it.

kernel/delayacct.c: remove redundant checking in __delayacct_add_tsk()

The wrapper function delayacct_add_tsk() already checked 'tsk->delays',
and __delayacct_add_tsk() has no another direct callers, so can remove the
redundancy checking code.

And the label 'done' is also useless, so remove it, too.

cputime: Use accessors to read task cputime stats

This is in preparation for the full dynticks feature. While
remotely reading the cputime of a task running in a full
dynticks CPU, we'll need to do some extra-computation. This
way we can account the time it spent tickless in userspace
since its last cputime snapshot.

KVM: Steal time implementation

To implement steal time, we need the hypervisor to pass the guest
information about how much time was spent running other processes
outside the VM, while the vcpu had meaningful work to do - halt
time does not count.

This information is acquired through the run_delay field of
delayacct/schedstats infrastructure, that counts time spent in a
runqueue but not running.

Steal time is a per-cpu information, so the traditional MSR-based
infrastructure is used. A new msr, KVM_MSR_STEAL_TIME, holds the
memory area address containing information about steal time

This patch contains the hypervisor part of the steal time infrasructure,
and can be backported independently of the guest portion.

schedstat: consolidate per-task cpu runtime stats

Impact: simplify code

When we turn on CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS, per-task cpu runtime is accumulated
twice. Once in task->se.sum_exec_runtime and once in sched_info.cpu_time.
These two stats are exactly the same.

Given that task->se.sum_exec_runtime is always accumulated by the core
scheduler, sched_info can reuse that data instead of duplicate the accounting.

per-task-delay-accounting: add memory reclaim delay

Sometimes, application responses become bad under heavy memory load.
Applications take a bit time to reclaim memory. The statistics, how long
memory reclaim takes, will be useful to measure memory usage.

This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for
accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages().

<i.e>

- When System is under low memory load,
memory reclaim may not occur.

$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 8197800 1577300 6620500 0 4808 1516724
-/+ buffers/cache: 55768 8142032

Measure the time of tar command.

$ ls -s test.dat
1501472 test.dat

$ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat
real 0m13.388s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m5.304s

$ ./delayget -d -p <pid>

IO count delay total
338 8078977189
SWAP count delay total
0 0
RECLAIM count delay total
0 0

- When system is under heavy memory load
memory reclaim may occur.

$ vmstat 1
procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu----
r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa
0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 24 0 0 100 0

0 0 7159032 49848 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 22 0 0 100 0

In this case, one process uses more 8G memory
by execution of malloc() and memset().

$ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat
real 1m38.563s <- increased by 85 sec
user 0m0.140s
sys 0m7.060s

$ ./delayget -d -p <pid>
CPU count real total virtual total delay total
9021 7140446250 7315277975 923201824
IO count delay total
8965 90466349669
SWAP count delay total
3 21036367
RECLAIM count delay total
740 61011951153

In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.
So, taskstats can show how much memory reclaim influences TAT.

KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation

This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
int a,b,c;
struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab. If it fails then we
panic.

[PATCH] task delay accounting fixes

Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:

1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html

Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.

2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html

The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.

The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

Enable delay accounting by default so that feature gets coverage testing

Earlier, it was off by default and had to be enabled via a boot time param.
This patch reverses the default behaviour to improve coverage testing. It
can be removed late in the kernel development cycle if its believed users
shouldn't have to incur any cost if they don't want delay accounting. Or
it can be retained forever if the utility of the stats is deemed common
enough to warrant keeping the feature on.

Unlike earlier iterations of the delay accounting patches, now delays are only
collected for the actual I/O waits rather than try and cover the delays seen
in I/O submission paths.

Account separately for block I/O delays incurred as a result of swapin page
faults whose frequency can be affected by the task/process' rss limit. Hence
swapin delays can act as feedback for rss limit changes independent of I/O
priority changes.
