[PATCH] leds/trigger/activity: add a system activity LED trigger

[Willy Tarreau]

The "activity" trigger was inspired by the heartbeat one, but aims at
providing instant indication of the immediate CPU usage. Under idle
condition, it flashes 10ms every second. At 100% usage, it flashes
90ms every 100ms. The blinking frequency increases from 1 to 10 Hz
until either the load is high enough to saturate one CPU core or 50%
load is reached on a single-core system. Then past this point only the
duty cycle increases from 10 to 90%.

This results in a very visible activity reporting allowing one to
immediately tell whether a machine is under load or not, making it
quite suitable to be used in clusters.

+	 * What we want is that when the CPU usage is zero, the LED must blink

+	 * blinking frequency to increase up to the point where the load is
+	 * enough to saturate one core in multi-core systems or 50% in single
+	 * core systems. At this point it should reach 10 Hz with a 10/90 duty
+	 * cycle (10ms ON, 90ms OFF). After this point, the blinking frequency
+	 * remains stable (10 Hz) and only the duty cycle increases to report
+	 * the activity, up to the point where we have 90ms ON, 10ms OFF when
+	 * all cores are saturated. It's important that the LED never stays in
+	 * a steady state so that it's easy to distinguish an idle or saturated
+	 * machine from a hung one.
+	 *
+	 * This gives us :
+	 *   - a target CPU usage of min(50%, 100%/#CPU) for a 10% duty cycle
+	 *     (10ms ON, 90ms OFF)
+	 *   - below target :
+	 *      ON_ms  = 10
+	 *      OFF_ms = 90 + (1 - usage/target) * 900
+	 *   - above target :
+	 *      ON_ms  = 10 + (usage-target)/(100%-target) * 80
+	 *      OFF_ms = 90 - (usage-target)/(100%-target) * 80
+	 *
+	 * In order to keep a good responsiveness, we cap the sleep time to
+	 * 100 ms and keep track of the sleep time left. This allows us to
+	 * quickly change it if needed.
