Subject: [RFC PATCH 05/14] cgroup: implement cgroup v2 thread support

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

This patch implements cgroup v2 thread support.  The goal of the
thread mode is supporting hierarchical accounting and control at
thread granularity while staying inside the resource domain model
which allows coordination across different resource controllers and
handling of anonymous resource consumptions.

Once thread mode is enabled on a cgroup, the threads of the processes
which are in its subtree can be placed inside the subtree without
being restricted by process granularity or no-internal-process
constraint.  Note that the threads aren't allowed to escape to a
different threaded subtree.  To be used inside a threaded subtree, a
controller should explicitly support threaded mode and be able to
handle internal competition in the way which is appropriate for the
resource.

The root of a threaded subtree, where thread mode is enabled in the
first place, is called the thread root and serves as the resource
domain for the whole subtree.  This is the last cgroup where
non-threaded controllers are operational and where all the
domain-level resource consumptions in the subtree are accounted.  This
allows threaded controllers to operate at thread granularity when
requested while staying inside the scope of system-level resource
distribution.

Internally, in a threaded subtree, each css_set has its ->proc_cset
pointing to a matching css_set which belongs to the thread root.  This
ensures that thread root level cgroup_subsys_state for all threaded
controllers are readily accessible for domain-level operations.

This patch enables threaded mode for the pids and perf_events
controllers.  Neither has to worry about domain-level resource
consumptions and it's enough to simply set the flag.

For more details on the interface and behavior of the thread mode,
please refer to the section 2-2-2 in Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt added
by this patch.  Note that the documentation update is not complete as
the rest of the documentation needs to be updated accordingly.
Rolling those updates into this patch can be confusing so that will be
separate patches.

+2-2-2. Threads
+
+cgroup v2 supports thread granularity for a subset of controllers to
+support use cases requiring hierarchical resource distribution across
+the threads of a group of processes.  By default, all threads of a
+process belong to the same cgroup, which also serves as the resource
+domain to host resource consumptions which are not specific to a
+process or thread.  The thread mode allows threads to be spread across
+a subtree while still maintaining the common resource domain for them.
+
+Enabling thread mode on a subtree makes it threaded.  The root of a
+threaded subtree is called thread root and serves as the resource
+domain for the entire subtree.  In a threaded subtree, threads of a
+process can be put in different cgroups and are not subject to the no
+internal process constraint - threaded controllers can be enabled on
+non-leaf cgroups whether they have threads in them or not.
+
+To enable the thread mode, the following conditions must be met.
+
+- The thread root doesn't have any child cgroups.
+
+- The thread root doesn't have any controllers enabled.
+
+Thread mode can be enabled by writing "enable" to "cgroup.threads"
+file.
+
+  # echo enable > cgroup.threads
+
+Inside a threaded subtree, "cgroup.threads" can be read and contains
+the list of the thread IDs of all threads in the cgroup.  Except that
+the operations are per-thread instead of per-process, "cgroup.threads"
+has the same format and behaves the same way as "cgroup.procs".
+
+The thread root serves as the resource domain for the whole subtree,
+and, while the threads can be scattered across the subtree, all the
+processes are considered to be in the thread root.  "cgroup.procs" in
+a thread root contains the PIDs of all processes in the subtree and is
+not readable in the subtree proper.  However, "cgroup.procs" can be
+written to from anywhere in the subtree to migrate all threads of the
+matching process to the cgroup.
+
+Only threaded controllers can be enabled in a threaded subtree.  When
+a threaded controller is enabled inside a threaded subtree, it only
+accounts for and controls resource consumptions associated with the
+threads in the cgroup and its descendants.  All consumptions which
+aren't tied to a specific thread belong to the thread root.
+
+Because a threaded subtree is exempt from no internal process
+constraint, a threaded controller must be able to handle competition
+between threads in a non-leaf cgroup and its child cgroups.  Each
+threaded controller defines how such competitions are handled.
+
+To disable the thread mode, the following conditions must be met.
+
+- The cgroup is a thread root.  Thread mode can't be disabled
+  partially in the subtree.
+
+- The thread root doesn't have any child cgroups.
+
+- The thread root doesn't have any controllers enabled.
+
+Thread mode can be disabled by writing "disable" to "cgroup.threads"
+file.
+
+  # echo disable > cgroup.threads
+
+
