Pressure metrics are already recorded and exposed in procfs for the
entire system, but any tool which monitors cgroup pressure has to
special case the root cgroup to read from procfs.  This patch exposes
the already recorded pressure metrics on the root cgroup.

Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection
mechanism configurable by users.  It allows users to monitor psi metrics
growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined
threshold within user-defined time window.

Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs.  Multiple psi
resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored
concurrently.

Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored
psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state.  While system
is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10
times per tracking window.  Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min
monitoring interval is 50ms.  Max window size is 10s with monitoring
interval of 1s.

When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi
signal is bouncing.

Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window.

<id>33b2d6302abc4ccea1d9b3f095e2e27b02ca264e</id>
<content type='text'>
Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v6.

This is a respin of:
  https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20190308184311.144521-1-surenb%40google.com/

Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that
results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices.

Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with
latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure
files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible.  Psi also
doesn't aggregate its averages at a high-enough frequency right now.

This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can
configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be
notified when these are breached.

As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation
method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes
the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates
only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring.

With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off,
mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user.  For
example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer
daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.  In our memory stress
testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives
compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to specify multiple
triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework
to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly.

The new interface is straight-forward.  The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:

        /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
        char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000"
        fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory")
        write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger))
        while (poll() &gt;= 0) {
                ...
        };
        close(fd);

When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.

The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.

Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 7
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.

The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.

This patch (of 7):

The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as
record_times().  To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask
that can be consulted cheaply.  Do this in a separate patch to keep the
churn in the main feature patch at a minimum.

This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which
results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long.  Add
explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect
psi_group_cpu struct size.

daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important
processes before device becomes visibly sluggish.  In our memory stress
testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives
compared to vmpressure signals.  Having ability to specify multiple
triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework
to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly.

The new interface is straight-forward.  The user opens one of the
pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the
file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the
maximum stall time over a given window of time.  E.g.:

        /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */
        char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000"
        fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory")
        write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger))
        while (poll() &gt;= 0) {
                ...
        };
        close(fd);

When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation
frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order
to emit event signals in a timely fashion.  Once the stalling subsides,
aggregation reverts back to normal.

The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor.  To stop
monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the
trigger is discarded.

Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support.  Patch 7
implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection
optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the
pressure files.

The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner.

This patch (of 7):

The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as
record_times().  To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask
that can be consulted cheaply.  Do this in a separate patch to keep the
churn in the main feature patch at a minimum.

This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which
results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long.  Add
explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect
psi_group_cpu struct size.

Pull driver core/kobject updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the "big" set of driver core patches for 5.2-rc1

  There are a number of ACPI patches in here as well, as Rafael said
  they should go through this tree due to the driver core changes they
  required. They have all been acked by the ACPI developers.

  There are also a number of small subsystem-specific changes in here,
  due to some changes to the kobject core code. Those too have all been
  acked by the various subsystem maintainers.

  As for content, it's pretty boring outside of the ACPI changes:
   - spdx cleanups
   - kobject documentation updates
   - default attribute groups for kobjects
   - other minor kobject/driver core fixes

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"
