Pull pidfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Allow handing out pidfds for reaped tasks for AF_UNIX SO_PEERPIDFD
socket option
SO_PEERPIDFD is a socket option that allows to retrieve a pidfd for
the process that called connect() or listen(). This is heavily used
to safely authenticate clients in userspace avoiding security bugs
due to pid recycling races (dbus, polkit, systemd, etc.)
SO_PEERPIDFD currently doesn't support handing out pidfds if the
sk->sk_peer_pid thread-group leader has already been reaped. In
this case it currently returns EINVAL. Userspace still wants to get
a pidfd for a reaped process to have a stable handle it can pass
on. This is especially useful now that it is possible to retrieve
exit information through a pidfd via the PIDFD_GET_INFO ioctl()'s
PIDFD_INFO_EXIT flag
Another summary has been provided by David Rheinsberg:
> A pidfd can outlive the task it refers to, and thus user-space
> must already be prepared that the task underlying a pidfd is
> gone at the time they get their hands on the pidfd. For
> instance, resolving the pidfd to a PID via the fdinfo must be
> prepared to read `-1`.
>
> Despite user-space knowing that a pidfd might be stale, several
> kernel APIs currently add another layer that checks for this. In
> particular, SO_PEERPIDFD returns `EINVAL` if the peer-task was
> already reaped, but returns a stale pidfd if the task is reaped
> immediately after the respective alive-check.
>
> This has the unfortunate effect that user-space now has two ways
> to check for the exact same scenario: A syscall might return
> EINVAL/ESRCH/... *or* the pidfd might be stale, even though
> there is no particular reason to distinguish both cases. This
> also propagates through user-space APIs, which pass on pidfds.
> They must be prepared to pass on `-1` *or* the pidfd, because
> there is no guaranteed way to get a stale pidfd from the kernel.
>
> Userspace must already deal with a pidfd referring to a reaped
> task as the task may exit and get reaped at any time will there
> are still many pidfds referring to it
In order to allow handing out reaped pidfd SO_PEERPIDFD needs to
ensure that PIDFD_INFO_EXIT information is available whenever a
pidfd for a reaped task is created by PIDFD_INFO_EXIT. The uapi
promises that reaped pidfds are only handed out if it is guaranteed
that the caller sees the exit information:
TEST_F(pidfd_info, success_reaped)
{
struct pidfd_info info = {
.mask = PIDFD_INFO_CGROUPID | PIDFD_INFO_EXIT,
};
/*
* Process has already been reaped and PIDFD_INFO_EXIT been set.
* Verify that we can retrieve the exit status of the process.
*/
ASSERT_EQ(ioctl(self->child_pidfd4, PIDFD_GET_INFO, &info), 0);
ASSERT_FALSE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_CREDS));
ASSERT_TRUE(!!(info.mask & PIDFD_INFO_EXIT));
ASSERT_TRUE(WIFEXITED(info.exit_code));
ASSERT_EQ(WEXITSTATUS(info.exit_code), 0);
}
To hand out pidfds for reaped processes we thus allocate a pidfs
entry for the relevant sk->sk_peer_pid at the time the
sk->sk_peer_pid is stashed and drop it when the socket is
destroyed. This guarantees that exit information will always be
recorded for the sk->sk_peer_pid task and we can hand out pidfds
for reaped processes
- Hand a pidfd to the coredump usermode helper process
Give userspace a way to instruct the kernel to install a pidfd for
the crashing process into the process started as a usermode helper.
There's still tricky race-windows that cannot be easily or
sometimes not closed at all by userspace. There's various ways like
looking at the start time of a process to make sure that the
usermode helper process is started after the crashing process but
it's all very very brittle and fraught with peril
The crashed-but-not-reaped process can be killed by userspace
before coredump processing programs like systemd-coredump have had
time to manually open a PIDFD from the PID the kernel provides
them, which means they can be tricked into reading from an
arbitrary process, and they run with full privileges as they are
usermode helper processes
Even if that specific race-window wouldn't exist it's still the
safest and cleanest way to let the kernel provide the pidfd
directly instead of requiring userspace to do it manually. In
parallel with this commit we already have systemd adding support
for this in [1]
When the usermode helper process is forked we install a pidfd file
descriptor three into the usermode helper's file descriptor table
so it's available to the exec'd program
Since usermode helpers are either children of the system_unbound_wq
workqueue or kthreadd we know that the file descriptor table is
empty and can thus always use three as the file descriptor number
Note, that we'll install a pidfd for the thread-group leader even
if a subthread is calling do_coredump(). We know that task linkage
hasn't been removed yet and even if this @current isn't the actual
thread-group leader we know that the thread-group leader cannot be
reaped until
@current has exited
- Allow telling when a task has not been found from finding the wrong
task when creating a pidfd
We currently report EINVAL whenever a struct pid has no tasked
attached anymore thereby conflating two concepts:
(1) The task has already been reaped
(2) The caller requested a pidfd for a thread-group leader but the
pid actually references a struct pid that isn't used as a
thread-group leader
This is causing issues for non-threaded workloads as in where they
expect ESRCH to be reported, not EINVAL
So allow userspace to reliably distinguish between (1) and (2)
- Make it possible to detect when a pidfs entry would outlive the
struct pid it pinned

Pull vfs freezing updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains various filesystem freezing related work for this cycle:
- Allow the power subsystem to support filesystem freeze for suspend
and hibernate.
Now all the pieces are in place to actually allow the power
subsystem to freeze/thaw filesystems during suspend/resume.
Filesystems are only frozen and thawed if the power subsystem does
actually own the freeze.
If the filesystem is already frozen by the time we've frozen all
userspace processes we don't care to freeze it again. That's
userspace's job once the process resumes. We only actually freeze
filesystems if we absolutely have to and we ignore other failures
to freeze.
We could bubble up errors and fail suspend/resume if the error
isn't EBUSY (aka it's already frozen) but I don't think that this
is worth it. Filesystem freezing during suspend/resume is
best-effort. If the user has 500 ext4 filesystems mounted and 4
fail to freeze for whatever reason then we simply skip them.
What we have now is already a big improvement and let's see how we
fare with it before making our lives even harder (and uglier) than
we have to.
- Allow efivars to support freeze and thaw
Allow efivarfs to partake to resync variable state during system
hibernation and suspend. Add freeze/thaw support.
This is a pretty straightforward implementation. We simply add
regular freeze/thaw support for both userspace and the kernel.
efivars is the first pseudofilesystem that adds support for
filesystem freezing and thawing.
The simplicity comes from the fact that we simply always resync
variable state after efivarfs has been frozen. It doesn't matter
whether that's because of suspend, userspace initiated freeze or
hibernation. Efivars is simple enough that it doesn't matter that
we walk all dentries. There are no directories and there aren't
insane amounts of entries and both freeze/thaw are already
heavy-handed operations. If userspace initiated a freeze/thaw cycle
they would need CAP_SYS_ADMIN in the initial user namespace (as
that's where efivarfs is mounted) so it can't be triggered by
random userspace. IOW, we really really don't care"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual selections of misc updates for this cycle.
Features:
- Use folios for symlinks in the page cache
FUSE already uses folios for its symlinks. Mirror that conversion
in the generic code and the NFS code. That lets us get rid of a few
folio->page->folio conversions in this path, and some of the few
remaining users of read_cache_page() / read_mapping_page()
- Try and make a few filesystem operations killable on the VFS
inode->i_mutex level
- Add sysctl vfs_cache_pressure_denom for bulk file operations
Some workloads need to preserve more dentries than we currently
allow through out sysctl interface
A HDFS servers with 12 HDDs per server, on a HDFS datanode startup
involves scanning all files and caching their metadata (including
dentries and inodes) in memory. Each HDD contains approximately 2
million files, resulting in a total of ~20 million cached dentries
after initialization
To minimize dentry reclamation, they set vfs_cache_pressure to 1.
Despite this configuration, memory pressure conditions can still
trigger reclamation of up to 50% of cached dentries, reducing the
cache from 20 million to approximately 10 million entries. During
the subsequent cache rebuild period, any HDFS datanode restart
operation incurs substantial latency penalties until full cache
recovery completes
To maintain service stability, more dentries need to be preserved
during memory reclamation. The current minimum reclaim ratio (1/100
of total dentries) remains too aggressive for such workload. This
patch introduces vfs_cache_pressure_denom for more granular cache
pressure control
The configuration [vfs_cache_pressure=1,
vfs_cache_pressure_denom=10000] effectively maintains the full 20
million dentry cache under memory pressure, preventing datanode
restart performance degradation
- Avoid some jumps in inode_permission() using likely()/unlikely()
- Avid a memory access which is most likely a cache miss when
descending into devcgroup_inode_permission()
- Add fastpath predicts for stat() and fdput()
- Anonymous inodes currently don't come with a proper mode causing
issues in the kernel when we want to add useful VFS debug assert.
Fix that by giving them a proper mode and masking it off when we
report it to userspace which relies on them not having any mode
- Anonymous inodes currently allow to change inode attributes because
the VFS falls back to simple_setattr() if i_op->setattr isn't
implemented. This means the ownership and mode for every single
user of anon_inode_inode can be changed. Block that as it's either
useless or actively harmful. If specific ownership is needed the
respective subsystem should allocate anonymous inodes from their
own private superblock
- Raise SB_I_NODEV and SB_I_NOEXEC on the anonymous inode superblock
- Add proper tests for anonymous inode behavior
- Make it easy to detect proper anonymous inodes and to ensure that
we can detect them in codepaths such as readahead()
Cleanups:

Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.
We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
"len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.
The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
here?".
nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
which have any other idmap.
This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
functions and to explictily pass &nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
with all other vfs interfaces used where &nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
passed.
The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
checking is removed.
This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"

ops.update_idle() may want to use the latter to create interlocking between
ops.enqueue() and CPU idle transitions so that either ops.enqueue() sees the
idle bit or ops.update_idle() sees the task queued somewhere. This can
prevent race conditions where CPUs go idle while tasks are waiting in DSQs.
For such interlocking to work, ops.update_idle() must be called after
builtin CPU masks are updated. Relocate the invocation. Currently, there are
no ordering requirements on transitions from idle and this relocation isn't
expected to make meaningful differences in that direction.
This also makes the ops.update_idle() behavior semantically consistent:
any action performed in this callback should be able to override the
builtin idle state, not the other way around.

Other subsystems may make use of the cgroup hierarchy with the cgroup_bpf
support being one such example. For such a feature, it's useful to be able
to hook into cgroup creation and destruction paths to perform
feature-specific initializations and cleanups.
Add cgroup_lifetime_notifier which generates CGROUP_LIFETIME_ONLINE and
CGROUP_LIFETIME_OFFLINE events whenever cgroups are created and destroyed,
respectively.
The next patch will convert cgroup_bpf to use the new notifier and other

This reverts commit 4a8f635a60.
Althought get_pid_task() internally already calls rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_read_unlock(), the find_vpid() was not.
The documentation for find_vpid() clearly states:
"Must be called with the tasklist_lock or rcu_read_lock() held."
Add proper rcu_read_lock/unlock() to protect the find_vpid().

The current allocation of VMAP stack memory is using (THREADINFO_GFP &
~__GFP_ACCOUNT) which is a complicated way of saying (GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_ZERO):
<linux/thread_info.h>:
define THREADINFO_GFP (GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT | __GFP_ZERO)
<linux/gfp_types.h>:
define GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT (GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ACCOUNT)
This is an unfortunate side-effect of independent changes blurring the
picture:
commit 19809c2da2 changed (THREADINFO_GFP |
__GFP_HIGHMEM) to just THREADINFO_GFP since highmem became implicit.
commit 9b6f7e163c then added stack caching
and rewrote the allocation to (THREADINFO_GFP & ~__GFP_ACCOUNT) as cached
stacks need to be accounted separately. However that code, when it
eventually accounts the memory does this:
ret = memcg_kmem_charge(vm->pages[i], GFP_KERNEL, 0)
so the memory is charged as a GFP_KERNEL allocation.
Define a unique GFP_VMAP_STACK to use
GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO and move the comment there.

There are two data types: "struct vm_struct" and "struct vm_stack" that
have the same local variable names: vm_stack, or vm, or s, which makes the

Change the code so the naming is consistent:
struct vm_struct is always called vm_area
struct vm_stack is always called vm_stack
One change altering vfree(vm_stack) to vfree(vm_area->addr) may look like
a semantic change but it is not: vm_area->addr points to the vm_stack.

Patch series "sysfs: add counters for lockups and stalls", v2.
Commits 9db89b4111 ("exit: Expose "oops_count" to sysfs") and
8b05aa2633 ("panic: Expose "warn_count" to sysfs") added counters for
oopses and warnings to sysfs, and these two patches do the same for
hard/soft lockups and RCU stalls.
All of these counters are useful for monitoring tools to detect whether
the machine is healthy. If the kernel has experienced a lockup or a
stall, it's probably due to a kernel bug, and I'd like to detect that
quickly and easily. There is currently no way to detect that, other than
parsing dmesg. Or observing indirect effects: such as certain tasks not
responding, but then I need to observe all tasks, and it may take a while
until these effects become visible/measurable. I'd rather be able to
detect the primary cause more quickly, possibly before everything falls
apart.
This patch (of 2):
There is /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_detect_count, /sys/kernel/warn_count
and /sys/kernel/oops_count but there is no userspace-accessible counter
for hard/soft lockups. Having this is useful for monitoring tools.

When there are CPU and memory hot un/plugs, the dm crypt keys may need to
be reloaded again depending on the solution for crash hotplug support.
Currently, there are two solutions. One is to utilizes udev to instruct
user space to reload the kdump kernel image and initrd, elfcorehdr and etc
again. The other is to only update the elfcorehdr segment introduced in
commit 2472627561 ("crash: add generic infrastructure for crash hotplug
support").
For the 1st solution, the dm crypt keys need to be reloaded again. The
user space can write true to /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_key/reuse
so the stored keys can be re-used.
For the 2nd solution, the dm crypt keys don't need to be reloaded.
Currently, only x86 supports the 2nd solution. If the 2nd solution gets
extended to all arches, this patch can be dropped.

A configfs /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys is provided for user
space to make the dm crypt keys persist for the kdump kernel. Take the
case of dumping to a LUKS-encrypted target as an example, here is the life
cycle of the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,
1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd uses
an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys or simply
TPM-sealed volume keys and then save the volume keys to specified
keyring (using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the keys will expire
within specified time.
2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
the 1st kernel which keys are needed.
3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
keys to kdump reserved memory.
4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.
5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
the LUKS encrypted device is finished
Eventually the keys have to stay in the kdump reserved memory for the
kdump kernel to unlock encrypted volumes. During this process, some
measures like letting the keys expire within specified time are desirable
to reduce security risk.
This patch assumes,
1) there are 128 LUKS devices at maximum to be unlocked thus
MAX_KEY_NUM=128.
2) a key description won't exceed 128 bytes thus KEY_DESC_MAX_LEN=128.
And here is a demo on how to interact with
/sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys,

Patch series "Support kdump with LUKS encryption by reusing LUKS volume
keys", v9.
LUKS is the standard for Linux disk encryption, widely adopted by users,
and in some cases, such as Confidential VMs, it is a requirement. With
kdump enabled, when the first kernel crashes, the system can boot into the
kdump/crash kernel to dump the memory image (i.e., /proc/vmcore) to a
specified target. However, there are two challenges when dumping vmcore
to a LUKS-encrypted device:
- Kdump kernel may not be able to decrypt the LUKS partition. For some
machines, a system administrator may not have a chance to enter the
password to decrypt the device in kdump initramfs after the 1st kernel
crashes; For cloud confidential VMs, depending on the policy the
kdump kernel may not be able to unseal the keys with TPM and the
console virtual keyboard is untrusted.
- LUKS2 by default use the memory-hard Argon2 key derivation function
which is quite memory-consuming compared to the limited memory reserved
for kdump. Take Fedora example, by default, only 256M is reserved for
systems having memory between 4G-64G. With LUKS enabled, ~1300M needs
to be reserved for kdump. Note if the memory reserved for kdump can't
be used by 1st kernel i.e. an user sees ~1300M memory missing in the
1st kernel.
Besides users (at least for Fedora) usually expect kdump to work out of
the box i.e. no manual password input or custom crashkernel value is
needed. And it doesn't make sense to derivate the keys again in kdump
kernel which seems to be redundant work.
This patchset addresses the above issues by making the LUKS volume keys
persistent for kdump kernel with the help of cryptsetup's new APIs
(--link-vk-to-keyring/--volume-key-keyring). Here is the life cycle of
the kdump copies of LUKS volume keys,
1. After the 1st kernel loads the initramfs during boot, systemd
use an user-input passphrase to de-crypt the LUKS volume keys
or TPM-sealed key and then save the volume keys to specified keyring
(using the --link-vk-to-keyring API) and the key will expire within
specified time.
2. A user space tool (kdump initramfs loader like kdump-utils) create
key items inside /sys/kernel/config/crash_dm_crypt_keys to inform
the 1st kernel which keys are needed.
3. When the kdump initramfs is loaded by the kexec_file_load
syscall, the 1st kernel will iterate created key items, save the
keys to kdump reserved memory.
4. When the 1st kernel crashes and the kdump initramfs is booted, the
kdump initramfs asks the kdump kernel to create a user key using the
key stored in kdump reserved memory by writing yes to
/sys/kernel/crash_dm_crypt_keys/restore. Then the LUKS encrypted
device is unlocked with libcryptsetup's --volume-key-keyring API.
5. The system gets rebooted to the 1st kernel after dumping vmcore to
the LUKS encrypted device is finished
After libcryptsetup saving the LUKS volume keys to specified keyring,
whoever takes this should be responsible for the safety of these copies of
keys. The keys will be saved in the memory area exclusively reserved for
kdump where even the 1st kernel has no direct access. And further more,
two additional protections are added,
- save the copy randomly in kdump reserved memory as suggested by Jan
- clear the _PAGE_PRESENT flag of the page that stores the copy as
suggested by Pingfan
This patchset only supports x86. There will be patches to support other
architectures once this patch set gets merged.
This patch (of 9):
Currently, kexec_buf is placed in order which means for the same machine,
the info in the kexec_buf is always located at the same position each time
the machine is booted. This may cause a risk for sensitive information
like LUKS volume key. Now struct kexec_buf has a new field random which
indicates it's supposed to be placed in a random position.
Note this feature is enabled only when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is enabled. So
it only takes effect for kdump and won't impact kexec reboot.

There is no reason to restrict scx_bpf_select_cpu_dfl() invocations to
ops.select_cpu() while allowing scx_bpf_select_cpu_and() to be used from
multiple contexts, as both provide equivalent functionality, with the
latter simply accepting an additional "allowed" cpumask.
Therefore, unify the two APIs, enabling both kfuncs to be used from
ops.select_cpu(), ops.enqueue(), and unlocked contexts (e.g., via BPF
test_run).
This allows schedulers to implement a consistent idle CPU selection
policy and helps reduce code duplication.

The current throttle logic doesn't work well with a group, e.g., the
following sampling-read case.
$ perf record -e "{cycles,cycles}:S" ...
$ perf report -D | grep THROTTLE | tail -2

UNTHROTTLE events: 425 ( 9.0%)

..... id 0000000000000328, value 00000002211c26df, lost 0
The second cycles event has a much larger value than the first cycles
event in the same group.
The current throttle logic in the generic code only logs the THROTTLE
event. It relies on the specific driver implementation to disable
events. For all ARCHs, the implementation is similar. Only the event is
disabled, rather than the group.
The logic to disable the group should be generic for all ARCHs. Add the
logic in the generic code. The following patch will remove the buggy
driver-specific implementation.
The throttle only happens when an event is overflowed. Stop the entire
group when any event in the group triggers the throttle.
The MAX_INTERRUPTS is set to all throttle events.
The unthrottled could happen in 3 places.
- event/group sched. All events in the group are scheduled one by one.
All of them will be unthrottled eventually. Nothing needs to be
changed.
- The perf_adjust_freq_unthr_events for each tick. Needs to restart the
group altogether.
- The __perf_event_period(). The whole group needs to be restarted
altogether as well.
With the fix,
$ sudo perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE -a4 | tail -n 5

The commit dfa0a574cb ("sched/uclamg: Handle delayed dequeue")
has add the sched_delayed check to prevent double uclamp_dec/inc.
However, it put the uclamp_rq_inc() after enqueue_task().
This may lead to the following issues:
When a task with uclamp goes through enqueue_task() and could trigger
cpufreq update, its uclamp won't even be considered in the cpufreq
update. It is only after enqueue will the uclamp be added to rq
buckets, and cpufreq will only pick it up at the next update.
This could cause a delay in frequency updating. It may affect
the performance(uclamp_min > 0) or power(uclamp_max < 1024).
So, just like util_est, put the uclamp_rq_inc() before enqueue_task().
And as for the sched_delayed_task, same as util_est, using the
sched_delayed flag to prevent inc the sched_delayed_task's uclamp,
using the ENQUEUE_DELAYED flag to allow inc the sched_delayed_task's uclamp
which is being woken up.

To prevent double enqueue/dequeue of the util-est for sched_delayed tasks,
commit 729288bc68 ("kernel/sched: Fix util_est accounting for DELAY_DEQUEUE")
added the corresponding check. This check excludes double en/dequeue during
task migration and priority changes.
In fact, these conditions can be simplified.
For util_est_dequeue, we know that sched_delayed flag is set in dequeue_entity.
When the task is sleeping, we need to call util_est_dequeue to subtract
util-est from the cfs_rq. At this point, sched_delayed has not yet been set.
If we find that sched_delayed is already set, it indicates that this task
has already called dequeue_task_fair once. In this case, there is no need to
call util_est_dequeue again. Therefore, simply checking the sched_delayed flag
should be sufficient to prevent unnecessary util_est updates during the dequeue.
For util_est_enqueue, our goal is to add the util_est to the cfs_rq
when task enqueue. However, we don't want to add the util_est of a
sched_delayed task to the cfs_rq because the task is sleeping.
Therefore, we can exclude the util_est_enqueue for sched_delayed tasks
by checking the sched_delayed flag. However, when waking up a delayed task,
the sched_delayed flag is cleared after util_est_enqueue. As a result,
if we only check the sched_delayed flag, we would miss the util_est_enqueue.
Since waking up a sched_delayed task calls enqueue_task with the ENQUEUE_DELAYED flag,
we can determine whether to call util_est_enqueue by checking if the
enqueue_flag contains ENQUEUE_DELAYED.

Delayed dequeued feature keeps a sleeping task enqueued until its
lag has elapsed. As a result, it stays also visible in rq->nr_running.
So when in wake_affine_idle(), we should use the real running-tasks
in rq to check whether we should place the wake-up task to
current cpu.
On the other hand, add a helper function to return the nr-delayed.

There are a few places where a conditional check is performed to validate a
given css on its rstat participation. This new helper tries to make the
code more readable where this check is performed.

It is possible to eliminate contention between subsystems when
updating/flushing stats by using subsystem-specific locks. Let the existing
rstat locks be dedicated to the cgroup base stats and rename them to
reflect that. Add similar locks to the cgroup_subsys struct for use with
individual subsystems.
Lock initialization is done in the new function ss_rstat_init(ss) which
replaces cgroup_rstat_boot(void). If NULL is passed to this function, the
global base stat locks will be initialized. Otherwise, the subsystem locks
will be initialized.
Change the existing lock helper functions to accept a reference to a css.
Then within these functions, conditionally select the appropriate locks
based on the subsystem affiliation of the given css. Add helper functions
for this selection routine to avoid repeated code.
