* 'for-4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup:
cgroup/tracing: Move taking of spin lock out of trace event handlers
This change allows creating kernfs files and directories with arbitrary
uid/gid instead of always using GLOBAL_ROOT_UID/GID by extending
kernfs_create_dir_ns() and kernfs_create_file_ns() with uid/gid arguments.
The "simple" kernfs_create_file() and kernfs_create_dir() are left alone
and always create objects belonging to the global root.
When creating symlinks ownership (uid/gid) is taken from the target kernfs
object.

It is unwise to take spin locks from the handlers of trace events.
Mainly, because they can introduce lockups, because it introduces locks
in places that are normally not tested. Worse yet, because trace events
are tucked away in the include/trace/events/ directory, locks that are
taken there are forgotten about.
As a general rule, I tell people never to take any locks in a trace
event handler.
Several cgroup trace event handlers call cgroup_path() which eventually
takes the kernfs_rename_lock spinlock. This injects the spinlock in the
code without people realizing it. It also can cause issues for the
PREEMPT_RT patch, as the spinlock becomes a mutex, and the trace event
handlers are called with preemption disabled.
By moving the calculation of the cgroup_path() out of the trace event
handlers and into a macro (surrounded by a
trace_cgroup_##type##_enabled()), then we could place the cgroup_path
into a string, and pass that to the trace event. Not only does this
remove the taking of the spinlock out of the trace event handler, but
it also means that the cgroup_path() only needs to be called once (it
is currently called twice, once to get the length to reserver the
buffer for, and once again to get the path itself. Now it only needs to
be done once.

Pull overflow updates from Kees Cook:
"This adds the new overflow checking helpers and adds them to the
2-factor argument allocators. And this adds the saturating size
helpers and does a treewide replacement for the struct_size() usage.
Additionally this adds the overflow testing modules to make sure
everything works.
I'm still working on the treewide replacements for allocators with
"simple" multiplied arguments:
*alloc(a * b, ...) -> *alloc_array(a, b, ...)
and
*zalloc(a * b, ...) -> *calloc(a, b, ...)
as well as the more complex cases, but that's separable from this
portion of the series. I expect to have the rest sent before -rc1
closes; there are a lot of messy cases to clean up.
Summary:
- Introduce arithmetic overflow test helper functions (Rasmus)
- Use overflow helpers in 2-factor allocators (Kees, Rasmus)
- Introduce overflow test module (Rasmus, Kees)
- Introduce saturating size helper functions (Matthew, Kees)
- Treewide use of struct_size() for allocators (Kees)"

One of the more common cases of allocation size calculations is finding
the size of a structure that has a zero-sized array at the end, along
with memory for some number of elements for that array. For example:
struct foo {
int stuff;
void *entry[];
};
instance = kmalloc(sizeof(struct foo) + sizeof(void *) * count, GFP_KERNEL);
Instead of leaving these open-coded and prone to type mistakes, we can
now use the new struct_size() helper:
instance = kmalloc(struct_size(instance, entry, count), GFP_KERNEL);
This patch makes the changes for kmalloc()-family (and kvmalloc()-family)
uses. It was done via automatic conversion with manual review for the
"CHECKME" non-standard cases noted below, using the following Coccinelle
script:
// pkey_cache = kmalloc(sizeof *pkey_cache + tprops->pkey_tbl_len *
// sizeof *pkey_cache->table, GFP_KERNEL);

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- For cpustat, cgroup has a percpu hierarchical stat mechanism which
propagates up the hierarchy lazily.
This contains commits to factor out and generalize the mechanism so
that it can be used for other cgroup stats too.
The original intention was to update memcg stats to use it but memcg
went for a different approach, so still the only user is cpustat. The
factoring out and generalization still make sense and it's likely
that this can be used for other purposes in the future.
- cgroup uses kernfs_notify() (which uses fsnotify()) to inform user
space of certain events. A rate limiting mechanism is added.
- Other misc changes.

cgroup_rstat_updated() ensures that the cgroup's rstat is linked to
the parent. If there's no parent, it never gets linked and the
function ends up grabbing and releasing the cgroup_rstat_lock each
time for no reason which can be expensive.
This hasn't been a problem till now because nobody was calling the
function for the root cgroup but rstat is gonna be exposed to
controllers and use cases, so let's get ready. Make
cgroup_rstat_updated() an no-op for the root cgroup.

cgroup_rstat_updated() has a small race window where an updated
signaling can race with flush and could be lost till the next update.
This wasn't a problem for the existing usages, but we plan to use
rstat to track counters which need to be accurate.
This patch plugs the race window by synchronizing
cgroup_rstat_updated() and flush path with memory barriers around
cgroup_rstat_cpu->updated_next pointer.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys->css_rstat_flush(). If a subsystem has
this callback, its csses are linked on cgrp->css_rstat_list and rstat
will call the function whenever the associated cgroup is flushed.
Flush is also performed when such csses are released so that residual
counts aren't lost.
Combined with the rstat API previous patches factored out, this allows
controllers to plug into rstat to manage their statistics in a
scalable way.

Currently, rstat flush path is protected with a mutex which is fine as
all the existing users are from interface file show path. However,
rstat is being generalized for use by controllers and flushing from
atomic contexts will be necessary.
This patch replaces cgroup_rstat_mutex with a spinlock and adds a
irq-safe flush function - cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe(). Explicit
yield handling is added to the flush path so that other flush
functions can yield to other threads and flushers.

Base resource stat accounts universial (not specific to any
controller) resource consumptions on top of rstat. Currently, its
implementation is intermixed with rstat implementation making the code
confusing to follow.
This patch clarifies the distintion by doing the followings.
* Encapsulate base resource stat counters, currently only cputime, in
struct cgroup_base_stat.
* Move prev_cputime into struct cgroup and initialize it with cgroup.
* Rename the related functions so that they start with cgroup_base_stat.
* Prefix the related variables and field names with b.

stat is too generic a name and ends up causing subtle confusions.
It'll be made generic so that controllers can plug into it, which will
make the problem worse. Let's rename it to something more specific -
cgroup_rstat for cgroup recursive stat.
This patch does the following renames. No other changes.
* cpu_stat -> rstat_cpu
* stat -> rstat
* ?cstat -> ?rstatc
Note that the renames are selective. The unrenamed are the ones which
implement basic resource statistics on top of rstat. This will be
further cleaned up in the following patches.

".events" files generate file modified event to notify userland of
possible new events. Some of the events can be quite bursty
(e.g. memory high event) and generating notification each time is
costly and pointless.
This patch implements a event rate limit mechanism. If a new
notification is requested before 10ms has passed since the previous
notification, the new notification is delayed till then.
As this only delays from the second notification on in a given close
cluster of notifications, userland reactions to notifications
shouldn't be delayed at all in most cases while avoiding notification
storms.

The "cgroup." core interface files bypass the usual interface removal
path and get removed recursively along with the cgroup itself. While
this works now, the subtle discrepancy gets in the way of implementing
common mechanisms.
This patch updates cgroup core interface file handling so that it's
consistent with controller interface files. When added, the css is
marked CSS_VISIBLE and they're explicitly removed before the cgroup is
destroyed.
This doesn't cause user-visible behavior changes.
