For simplicity, cpu pressure is defined as having more than one
runnable task on a given CPU. This works on the system-level, but it
has limitations in a cgrouped reality: When cpu.max is in use, it
doesn't capture the time in which a task is not executing on the CPU
due to throttling. Likewise, it doesn't capture the time in which a
competing cgroup is occupying the CPU - meaning it only reflects
cgroup-internal competitive pressure, not outside pressure.
Enable tracking of currently executing tasks, and then change the
definition of cpu pressure in a cgroup from
NR_RUNNING > 1
to
NR_RUNNING > ON_CPU
which will capture the effects of cpu.max as well as competition from
outside the cgroup.
After this patch, a cgroup running `stress -c 1` with a cpu.max
setting of 5000 10000 shows ~50% continuous CPU pressure.
