Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 0/5] bpf: rstat: cgroup hierarchical stats

This patch series allows for using bpf to collect hierarchical cgroup
stats efficiently by integrating with the rstat framework. The rstat
framework provides an efficient way to collect cgroup stats percpu and
propagate them through the cgroup hierarchy.

The stats are exposed to userspace in textual form by reading files in
bpffs, similar to cgroupfs stats by using a cgroup_iter program.
cgroup_iter is a type of bpf_iter. It walks over cgroups in four modes:
- walking a cgroup's descendants in pre-order.
- walking a cgroup's descendants in post-order.
- walking a cgroup's ancestors.
- process only a single object.

When attaching cgroup_iter, one needs to set a cgroup to the iter_link
created from attaching. This cgroup can be passed either as a file
descriptor or a cgroup id. That cgroup serves as the starting point of
the walk.

One can also terminate the walk early by returning 1 from the iter
program.

Note that because walking cgroup hierarchy holds cgroup_mutex, the iter
program is called with cgroup_mutex held.

** Background on rstat for stats collection **
(I am using a subscriber analogy that is not commonly used)

The rstat framework maintains a tree of cgroups that have updates and
which cpus have updates. A subscriber to the rstat framework maintains
their own stats. The framework is used to tell the subscriber when
and what to flush, for the most efficient stats propagation. The
workflow is as follows:

- When a subscriber updates a cgroup on a cpu, it informs the rstat
framework by calling cgroup_rstat_updated(cgrp, cpu).

- When a subscriber wants to read some stats for a cgroup, it asks
the rstat framework to initiate a stats flush (propagation) by calling
cgroup_rstat_flush(cgrp).

- When the rstat framework initiates a flush, it makes callbacks to
subscribers to aggregate stats on cpus that have updates, and
propagate updates to their parent.

Currently, the main subscribers to the rstat framework are cgroup
subsystems (e.g. memory, block). This patch series allow bpf programs to
become subscribers as well.

Patches in this series are organized as follows:
* Patches 1-2 introduce cgroup_iter prog, and a selftest.
* Patches 3-5 allow bpf programs to integrate with rstat by adding the
necessary hook points and kfunc. A comprehensive selftest that
demonstrates the entire workflow for using bpf and rstat to
efficiently collect and output cgroup stats is added.

---
Changelog:
v8 -> v9:
- Make UNSPEC (an invalid option) as the default order for cgroup_iter.
- Use enum for specifying cgroup_iter order, instead of u32.
- Add BPF_ITER_RESHCED to cgroup_iter.

v7 -> v8:
- Removed the confusing BPF_ITER_DEFAULT (Andrii)
- s/SELF/SELF_ONLY/g
- Fixed typo (e.g. outputing) (Andrii)
- Use "descendants_pre", "descendants_post" etc. instead of "pre",
"post" (Andrii)

v6 -> v7:
- Updated commit/comments in cgroup_iter for read() behavior (Yonghong)
- Extracted BPF_ITER_SELF and other options out of cgroup_iter, so
that they can be used in other iters. Also renamed them. (Andrii)
- Supports both cgroup_fd and cgroup_id when specifying target cgroup.
(Andrii)
- Avoided using macro for formatting expected output in cgroup_iter
selftest. (Andrii)
- Applied 'static' on all vars and functions in cgroup_iter selftest.
(Andrii)
- Fixed broken buf reading in cgroup_iter selftest. (Andrii)
- Switched to use bpf_link__destroy() unconditionally. (Andrii)
- Removed 'volatile' for non-const global vars in selftests. (Andrii)
- Started using bpf_core_enum_value() to get memory_cgrp_id. (Andrii)

v5 -> v6:
- Rebased on bpf-next
- Tidy up cgroup_hierarchical_stats test (Andrii)
* 'static' and 'inline'
* avoid using libbpf_get_error()
* string literals of cgroup paths.
- Rename patch 8/8 to 'selftests/bpf' (Yonghong)
- Fix cgroup_iter comments (e.g. PAGE_SIZE and uapi) (Yonghong)
- Make sure further read() returns OK after previous read() finished
properly (Yonghong)
- Release cgroup_mutex before the last call of show() (Kumar)

v4 -> v5:
- Rebased on top of new kfunc flags infrastructure, updated patch 1 and
patch 6 accordingly.
- Added docs for sleepable kfuncs.

v3 -> v4:
- cgroup_iter:
* reorder fields in bpf_link_info to avoid break uapi (Yonghong)
* comment the behavior when cgroup_fd=0 (Yonghong)
* comment on the limit of number of cgroups supported by cgroup_iter.
(Yonghong)
- cgroup_hierarchical_stats selftest:
* Do not return -1 if stats are not found (causes overflow in userspace).
* Check if child process failed to join cgroup.
* Make buf and path arrays in get_cgroup_vmscan_delay() static.
* Increase the test map sizes to accomodate cgroups that are not
created by the test.

v2 -> v3:
- cgroup_iter:
* Added conditional compilation of cgroup_iter.c in kernel/bpf/Makefile
(kernel test) and dropped the !CONFIG_CGROUP patch.
* Added validation of traversal_order when attaching (Yonghong).
* Fixed previous wording "two modes" to "three modes" (Yonghong).
* Fixed the btf_dump selftest broken by this patch (Yonghong).
* Fixed ctx_arg_info[0] to use "PTR_TO_BTF_ID_OR_NULL" instead of
"PTR_TO_BTF_ID", because the "cgroup" pointer passed to iter prog can
be null.
- Use __diag_push to eliminate __weak noinline warning in
bpf_rstat_flush().
- cgroup_hierarchical_stats selftest:
* Added write_cgroup_file_parent() helper.
* Added error handling for failed map updates.
* Added null check for cgroup in vmscan_flush.
* Fixed the signature of vmscan_[start/end].
* Correctly return error code when attaching trace programs fail.
* Make sure all links are destroyed correctly and not leaking in
cgroup_hierarchical_stats selftest.
* Use memory.reclaim instead of memory.high as a more reliable way to
invoke reclaim.
* Eliminated sleeps, the test now runs faster.

v1 -> v2:
- Redesign of cgroup_iter from v1, based on Alexei's idea [1]:
* supports walking cgroup subtree.
* supports walking ancestors of a cgroup. (Andrii)
* supports terminating the walk early.
* uses fd instead of cgroup_id as parameter for iter_link. Using fd is
a convention in bpf.
* gets cgroup's ref at attach time and deref at detach.
* brought back cgroup1 support for cgroup_iter.
- Squashed the patches adding the rstat flush hook points and kfuncs
(Tejun).
- Added a comment explaining why bpf_rstat_flush() needs to be weak
(Tejun).
- Updated the final selftest with the new cgroup_iter design.
- Changed CHECKs in the selftest with ASSERTs (Yonghong, Andrii).
- Removed empty line at the end of the selftest (Yonghong).
- Renamed test files to cgroup_hierarchical_stats.c.
- Reordered CGROUP_PATH params order to match struct declaration
in the selftest (Michal).
- Removed memory_subsys_enabled() and made sure memcg controller
enablement checks make sense and are documented (Michal).


RFC v2 -> v1:
- Instead of introducing a new program type for rstat flushing, add an
empty hook point, bpf_rstat_flush(), and use fentry bpf programs to
attach to it and flush bpf stats.
- Instead of using helpers, use kfuncs for rstat functions.
- These changes simplify the patchset greatly, with minimal changes to
uapi.

RFC v1 -> RFC v2:
- Instead of rstat flush programs attach to subsystems, they now attach
to rstat (global flushers, not per-subsystem), based on discussions
with Tejun. The first patch is entirely rewritten.
- Pass cgroup pointers to rstat flushers instead of cgroup ids. This is
much more flexibility and less likely to need a uapi update later.
- rstat helpers are now only defined if CGROUP_CONFIG.
- Most of the code is now only defined if CGROUP_CONFIG and
CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL.
- Move rstat helper protos from bpf_base_func_proto() to
tracing_prog_func_proto().
- rstat helpers argument (cgroup pointer) is now ARG_PTR_TO_BTF_ID, not
ARG_ANYTHING.
- Rewrote the selftest to use the cgroup helpers.
- Dropped bpf_map_lookup_percpu_elem (already added by Feng).
- Dropped patch to support cgroup v1 for cgroup_iter.
- Dropped patch to define some cgroup_put() when !CONFIG_CGROUP. The
code that calls it is no longer compiled when !CONFIG_CGROUP.

cgroup_iter was originally introduced in a different patch series[2].
Hao and I agreed that it fits better as part of this series.
RFC v1 of this patch series had the following changes from [2]:
- Getting the cgroup's reference at the time at attaching, instead of
at the time when iterating. (Yonghong)
- Remove .init_seq_private and .fini_seq_private callbacks for
cgroup_iter. They are not needed now. (Yonghong)

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 4/5] selftests/bpf: extend cgroup helpers

From: Yosry Ahmed <[email protected]>

This patch extends bpf selft cgroup_helpers [ID] n various ways:
- Add enable_controllers() that allows tests to enable all or a
subset of controllers for a specific cgroup.
- Add join_cgroup_parent(). The cgroup workdir is based on the pid,
therefore a spawned child cannot join the same cgroup hierarchy of the
test through join_cgroup(). join_cgroup_parent() is used in child
processes to join a cgroup under the parent's workdir.
- Add write_cgroup_file() and write_cgroup_file_parent() (similar to
join_cgroup_parent() above).
- Add get_root_cgroup() for tests that need to do checks on root cgroup.
- Distinguish relative and absolute cgroup paths in function arguments.
Now relative paths are called relative_path, and absolute paths are
called cgroup_path.

Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v9 5/5] selftests/bpf: add a selftest for cgroup hierarchical stats collection

From: Yosry Ahmed <[email protected]>

Add a selftest that tests the whole workflow for collecting,
aggregating (flushing), and displaying cgroup hierarchical stats.

TL;DR:
- Userspace program creates a cgroup hierarchy and induces memcg reclaim
in parts of it.
- Whenever reclaim happens, vmscan_start and vmscan_end update
per-cgroup percpu readings, and tell rstat which (cgroup, cpu) pairs
have updates.
- When userspace tries to read the stats, vmscan_dump calls rstat to flush
the stats, and outputs the stats in text format to userspace (similar
to cgroupfs stats).
- rstat calls vmscan_flush once for every (cgroup, cpu) pair that has
updates, vmscan_flush aggregates cpu readings and propagates updates
to parents.
- Userspace program makes sure the stats are aggregated and read
correctly.

Detailed explanation:
- The test loads tracing bpf programs, vmscan_start and vmscan_end, to
measure the latency of cgroup reclaim. Per-cgroup readings are stored in
percpu maps for efficiency. When a cgroup reading is updated on a cpu,
cgroup_rstat_updated(cgroup, cpu) is called to add the cgroup to the
rstat updated tree on that cpu.

- A cgroup_iter program, vmscan_dump, is loaded and pinned to a file, for
each cgroup. Reading this file invokes the program, which calls
cgroup_rstat_flush(cgroup) to ask rstat to propagate the updates for all
cpus and cgroups that have updates in this cgroup's subtree. Afterwards,
the stats are exposed to the user. vmscan_dump returns 1 to terminate
iteration early, so that we only expose stats for one cgroup per read.

- An ftrace program, vmscan_flush, is also loaded and attached to
bpf_rstat_flush. When rstat flushing is ongoing, vmscan_flush is invoked
once for each (cgroup, cpu) pair that has updates. cgroups are popped
from the rstat tree in a bottom-up fashion, so calls will always be
made for cgroups that have updates before their parents. The program
aggregates percpu readings to a total per-cgroup reading, and also
propagates them to the parent cgroup. After rstat flushing is over, all
cgroups will have correct updated hierarchical readings (including all
cpus and all their descendants).

- Finally, the test creates a cgroup hierarchy and induces memcg reclaim
in parts of it, and makes sure that the stats collection, aggregation,
and reading workflow works as expected.
