[PATCH v3 5/5] psi: introduce psi monitor

[Suren Baghdasaryan]

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.

+Monitoring for pressure thresholds
+==================================
+
+Users can register triggers and use poll() to be woken up when resource
+pressure exceeds certain thresholds.
+
+A trigger describes the maximum cumulative stall time over a specific
+time window, e.g. 100ms of total stall time within any 500ms window to
+generate a wakeup event.
+
+To register a trigger user has to open psi interface file under
+/proc/pressure/ representing the resource to be monitored and write the
+desired threshold and time window. The open file descriptor should be
+used to wait for trigger events using select(), poll() or epoll().
+The following format is used:
+
+<some|full> <stall amount in us> <time window in us>
+
+For example writing "some 150000 1000000" into /proc/pressure/memory
+would add 150ms threshold for partial memory stall measured within
+1sec time window. Writing "full 50000 1000000" into /proc/pressure/io
+would add 50ms threshold for full io stall measured within 1sec time window.
+
+Triggers can be set on more than one psi metric and more than one trigger
+for the same psi metric can be specified. However for each trigger a separate
+file descriptor is required to be able to poll it separately from others,
+therefore for each trigger a separate open() syscall should be made even
+when opening the same psi interface file.
+
+Monitors activate only when system enters stall state for the monitored
+psi metric and deactivates 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.
+
+The kernel accepts window sizes ranging from 500ms to 10s, therefore min
+monitoring update interval is 50ms and max is 1s.
+
+When activated, psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one
+tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when system is
+bouncing in and out of the stall state.
+
+Notifications to the userspace are rate-limited to one per tracking window.
+
+The trigger will de-register when the file descriptor used to define the
+trigger  is closed.

+ * psi_update_work represents slowpath accounting part while psi_group_change
+ * represents hotpath part. There are two potential races between them:
+ * 1. Changes to group->polling when slowpath checks for new stall, then hotpath
+ *    records new stall and then slowpath resets group->polling flag. This leads
+ *    to the exit from the polling mode while monitored state is still changing.
+ * 2. Slowpath overwriting an immediate update scheduled from the hotpath with
+ *    a regular update further in the future and missing the immediate update.
+ * Both races are handled with a retry cycle in the slowpath:
+ *
+ *    HOTPATH:                         |    SLOWPATH:
+ *                                     |
+ * A) times[cpu] += delta              | E) delta = times[*]
+ * B) start_poll = (delta[poll_mask] &&|    if delta[poll_mask]:
+ *      cmpxchg(g->polling, 0, 1) == 0)| F)   polling_until = now + grace_period
+ *    if start_poll:                   |    if now > polling_until:
+ * C)   mod_delayed_work(1)            |      if g->polling:
+ *     else if !delayed_work_pending():| G)     g->polling = polling = 0
+ * D)   schedule_delayed_work(PSI_FREQ)|        smp_mb
+ *                                     | H)     goto SLOWPATH
+ *                                     |    else:
+ *                                     |      if !g->polling:
+ *                                     | I)     g->polling = polling = 1
+ *                                     | J) if delta && first_pass:
+ *                                     |      next_avg = calculate_averages()
+ *                                     |      if polling:
+ *                                     |        next_poll = poll_triggers()
+ *                                     |    if (delta && first_pass) || polling:
+ *                                     | K)   mod_delayed_work(
+ *                                     |          min(next_avg, next_poll))

+ *                                     | L)     goto SLOWPATH
+ *
+ * Race #1 is represented by (EABGD) sequence in which case slowpath deactivates
+ * polling mode because it misses new monitored stall and hotpath doesn't
+ * activate it because at (B) g->polling is not yet reset by slowpath in (G).
+ * This race is handled by the (H) retry, which in the race described above
+ * results in the new sequence of (EABGDHEIK) that reactivates polling mode.
+ *
+ * Race #2 is represented by polling==false && (JABCK) sequence which overwrites
+ * immediate update scheduled at (C) with a later (next_avg) update scheduled at
+ * (K). This race is handled by the (L) retry which results in the new sequence
+ * of polling==false && (JABCKLEIK) that reactivates polling mode and
+ * reschedules the next polling update (next_poll).
+ *
+ * Note that retries can't result in an infinite loop because retry #1 happens
+ * only during polling reactivation and retry #2 happens only on the first pass.
+ * Constant reactivations are impossible because polling will stay active for at
+ * least grace_period. Worst case scenario involves two retries (HEJKLE)
