The task exit struct needs some crucial information to be able to provide
an enhanced version of process and thread accounting. This change
provides:
1. ac_tgid in additon to ac_pid
2. thread group execution walltime in ac_tgetime
3. flag AGROUP in ac_flag to indicate the last task
in a thread group / process
4. device ID and inode of task's /proc/self/exe in
ac_exe_dev and ac_exe_inode
5. tools/accounting/procacct as demonstrator
When a task exits, taskstats are reported to userspace including the
task's pid and ppid, but without the id of the thread group this task is
part of. Without the tgid, the stats of single tasks cannot be correlated
to each other as a thread group (process).
The taskstats documentation suggests that on process exit a data set
consisting of accumulated stats for the whole group is produced. But such
an additional set of stats is only produced for actually multithreaded
processes, not groups that had only one thread, and also those stats only
contain data about delay accounting and not the more basic information
about CPU and memory resource usage. Adding the AGROUP flag to be set
when the last task of a group exited enables determination of process end
also for single-threaded processes.
My applicaton basically does enhanced process accounting with summed
cputime, biggest maxrss, tasks per process. The data is not available
with the traditional BSD process accounting (which is not designed to be
extensible) and the taskstats interface allows more efficient on-the-fly
grouping and summing of the stats, anyway, without intermediate disk
writes.
Furthermore, I do carry statistics on which exact program binary is used
how often with associated resources, getting a picture on how important
which parts of a collection of installed scientific software in different
versions are, and how well they put load on the machine. This is enabled
by providing information on /proc/self/exe for each task. I assume the
two 64-bit fields for device ID and inode are more appropriate than the
possibly large resolved path to keep the data volume down.
Add the tgid to the stats to complete task identification, the flag AGROUP
to mark the last task of a group, the group wallclock time, and
inode-based identification of the associated executable file.
Add tools/accounting/procacct.c as a simplified fork of getdelays.c to
demonstrate process and thread accounting.

In the function bacct_add_task the code reading task->exit_code was
introduced in commit f3cef7a994 ("[PATCH] csa: basic accounting over
taskstats"), and it is not entirely clear what the taskstats interface
is trying to return as only returning the exit_code of the first task
in a process doesn't make a lot of sense.
As best as I can figure the intent is to return task->exit_code after
a task exits. The field is returned with per task fields, so the
exit_code of the entire process is not wanted. Only the value of the
first task is returned so this is not a useful way to get the per task
ptrace stop code. The ordinary case of returning this value is
returning after a task exits, which also precludes use for getting
a ptrace value.
It is common to for the first task of a process to also be the last
task of a process so this field may have done something reasonable by
accident in testing.
Make ac_exitcode a reliable per task value by always returning it for
every exited task.
Setting ac_exitcode in a sensible mannter makes it possible to continue
to provide this value going forward.

In vm_stat_account which called by mmap_region, increase total_vm, and
__acct_update_integrals may read total_vm at the same time. This will
cause a data race which lead to undefined behaviour. To avoid potential
bad read/write, volatile property and barrier are both used to avoid
undefined behaviour.

As there is only a 32-bit ac_btime field in taskstat and
we should handle dates after the overflow, add a new field
with the same information but 64-bit width that can hold
a full time64_t.
Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
In 'struct acct', 'struct acct_v3', and 'struct taskstats' we have
a 32-bit 'ac_btime' field containing an absolute time value, which
will overflow in year 2106.
There are two possible ways to deal with it:
a) let it overflow and have user space code deal with reconstructing
the data based on the current time, or
b) truncate the times based on the range of the u32 type.
Neither of them solves the actual problem. Pick the second
one to best document what the issue is, and have someone
fix it in a future version.

It looks like all the call paths that lead to __acct_update_integrals()
already have irqs disabled, and __acct_update_integrals() does not need
to disable irqs itself.
This is very convenient since about half the CPU time left in this
function was spent in local_irq_save alone.
Performance of a microbenchmark that calls an invalid syscall
ten million times in a row on a nohz_full CPU improves 21% vs.
4.5-rc1 with both the removal of divisions from __acct_update_integrals()
and this patch, with runtime dropping from 3.7 to 2.9 seconds.
With these patches applied, the highest remaining cpu user in
the trace is native_sched_clock, which is addressed in the next
patch.
For testing purposes I stuck a WARN_ON(!irqs_disabled()) test
in __acct_update_integrals(). It did not trigger.

- Explicitly limit exit task stat broadcast to the initial user and
pid namespaces, as it is already limited to the initial network
namespace.
- For broadcast task stats explicitly generate all of the idenitiers
in terms of the initial user namespace and the initial pid
namespace.
- For request stats report them in terms of the current user namespace
and the current pid namespace. Netlink messages are delivered
syncrhonously to the kernel allowing us to get the user namespace
and the pid namespace from the current task.
- Pass the namespaces for representing pids and uids and gids
into bacct_add_task.
