cgroup: Add generic cgroup subsystem permission checks. 2009-05-21T23:18:04+00:00 San Mehat san@google.com 2009-05-21T21:10:06+00:00 2bda29ae9ba43a012a4ea9089dc3362b96f167a8 Rather than using explicit euid == 0 checks when trying to move tasks into a cgroup via CFS, move permission checks into each specific cgroup subsystem. If a subsystem does not specify a 'can_attach' handler, then we fall back to doing our checks the old way. This way non-root processes can add arbitrary processes to a cgroup if all the registered subsystems on that cgroup agree.

Impact: Regression fix (against clock_gettime() backwarding bug)

This patch re-introduces a couple of functions, task_sched_runtime
and thread_group_sched_runtime, which was once removed at the
time of 2.6.28-rc1.

These functions protect the sampling of thread/process clock with
rq lock.  This rq lock is required not to update rq->clock during
the sampling.

i.e.
  The clock_gettime() may return
   ((accounted runtime before update) + (delta after update))
  that is less than what it should be.

v2 -> v3:
	- Rename static helper function __task_delta_exec()
	  to do_task_delta_exec() since -tip tree already has
	  a __task_delta_exec() of different version.

v1 -> v2:
	- Revises comments of function and patch description.
	- Add note about accuracy of thread group's runtime.
