Subject: [PATCH 0/4] sched/psi: Allow unprivileged PSI polling
Date:   Thu,  9 Mar 2023 18:07:52 +0100

PSI offers 2 mechanisms to get information about a specific resource
pressure. One is reading from /proc/pressure/<resource>, which gives
average pressures aggregated every 2s. The other is creating a pollable
fd for a specific resource and cgroup.

The trigger creation requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE, and gives the
possibility to pick specific time window and threshold, spawing an RT
thread to aggregate the data.

Systemd would like to provide containers the option to monitor pressure
on their own cgroup and sub-cgroups. For example, if systemd launches a
container that itself then launches services, the container should have
the ability to poll() for pressure in individual services. But neither
the container nor the services are privileged.

The series is implemented in 4 steps in order to reduce the noise of
the change.

Domenico Cerasuolo (4):
  sched/psi: rearrange polling code in preparation
  sched/psi: rename existing poll members in preparation
  sched/psi: extract update_triggers side effect
  sched/psi: allow unprivileged polling of N*2s period
