Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add mempressure cgroup

This commit implements David Rientjes' idea of mempressure cgroup.

The main characteristics are the same to what I've tried to add to vmevent
API; internally, it uses Mel Gorman's idea of scanned/reclaimed ratio for
pressure index calculation. But we don't expose the index to the userland.
Instead, there are three levels of the pressure:

 o low (just reclaiming, e.g. caches are draining);
 o medium (allocation cost becomes high, e.g. swapping);
 o oom (about to oom very soon).

The rationale behind exposing levels and not the raw pressure index
described here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/11/16/675

For a task it is possible to be in both cpusets, memcg and mempressure
cgroups, so by rearranging the tasks it is possible to watch a specific
pressure (i.e. caused by cpuset and/or memcg).

Note that while this adds the cgroups support, the code is well separated
and eventually we might add a lightweight, non-cgroups API, i.e. vmevent.
But this is another story.

+  Memory pressure cgroup
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+  Before using the mempressure cgroup, make sure you have it mounted:
+
+   # cd /sys/fs/cgroup/
+   # mkdir mempressure
+   # mount -t cgroup cgroup ./mempressure -o mempressure
+
+  It is possible to combine cgroups, for example you can mount memory
+  (memcg) and mempressure cgroups together:
+
+   # mount -t cgroup cgroup ./mempressure -o memory,mempressure
+
+  That way the reported pressure will honour memory cgroup limits. The
+  same goes for cpusets.
+
+  After the hierarchy is mounted, you can use the following API:
+
+  /sys/fs/cgroup/.../mempressure.level
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+  To maintain the interactivity/memory allocation cost, one can use the
+  pressure level notifications, and the levels are defined like this:
+
+  The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new
+  allocations. Monitoring reclaiming activity might be useful for
+  maintaining overall system's cache level. Upon notification, the program
+  (typically "Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance
+  (i.e. prematurely shutdown unimportant services).
+
+  The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory
+  pressure, there is some mild swapping activity. Upon this event
+  applications may decide to free any resources that can be easily
+  reconstructed or re-read from a disk.
+
+  The "oom" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is about
+  to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its way to
+  trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the system.
+
+  Event control:
+    Is used to setup an eventfd with a level threshold. The argument to
+    the event control specifies the level threshold.
+  Read:
+    Reads mempory presure levels: low, medium or oom.
+  Write:
+    Not implemented.
+  Test:
+    To set up a notification:
+
+    # cgroup_event_listener ./mempressure.level low
+    ("low", "medium", "oom" are permitted.)
