Subject: [PATCH v4] kdb: Adopt scheduler's task classification
Date:   Tue,  2 Nov 2021 17:31:58 +0000
Message-Id: <20211102173158.3315227-1-daniel.thompson@linaro.org>
MIME-Version: 1.0

Precedence: bulk

Currently kdb contains some open-coded routines to generate a summary
character for each task. This code currently issues warnings, is
almost certainly broken and won't make sense to any kernel dev who
has ever used /proc to examine task states.

Fix both the warning and the potential for confusion by adopting the
scheduler's task classification. Whilst doing this we also simplify the
filtering by using mask strings directly (which means we don't have to
guess all the characters the scheduler might give us).

Unfortunately we can't quite match the scheduler classification completely.
We add four extra states: - for idle loops and i, m and s sleeping system
daemons (which means kthreads in one of the I, M and S states). These
extra states are used to manage the filters for tools to make the output
of ps and bta less noisy.

Note: The Fixes below is the last point the original dubious code was
      moved; it was not introduced by that patch. However it gives us
      the last point to which this patch can be easily backported.
      Happily that should be enough to cover the introduction of
      CONFIG_WERROR!

Fixes: 2f064a59a11f ("sched: Change task_struct::state")

Notes:
    v4:
    - Get rid of the final `DRSTCZEUIMA` from the comments (Doug)
    - Change "state [ism]" to "state [ims]" to match other uses
      of IMS/ims (Doug)
    - Fix broken english in the bta online help (Doug)
    - Update ps online help to use <state_chars> to match other
      synopses (me)
    
    v3:
    - Fix the uninitialized cpu variable (Doug and 0-day CI bot)
    - Added a Fixes: (Doug)
    - Changed "state I" -> "state -" and "state M" to "state [ism]"
    
    v2:
    - Fix the typos in the description (Doug)
    - Stop trying to bend to world so I can keep 'I' exactly as
      it was before. Instead we now replace 'I' with '-' and
      fully adopt the scheduler description of tasks. kdb
      it an interactive tool, not ABI so this is OK. (Doug)
    - Don't try to enumerate all possible letters in the
      comments and help. You can learn what to filter from
      the output of ps anyway, (Doug)
    - Fix the sleeping system daemon stuff.
