PSI accounts stalls for each cgroup separately and aggregates it
at each level of the hierarchy. This may cause non-negligible overhead
for some workloads when under deep level of the hierarchy.
commit 3958e2d0c34e ("cgroup: make per-cgroup pressure stall tracking configurable")
make PSI to skip per-cgroup stall accounting, only account system-wide
to avoid this each level overhead.
But for our use case, we also want leaf cgroup PSI stats accounted for
userspace adjustment on that cgroup, apart from only system-wide adjustment.
So this patch introduce a per-cgroup PSI accounting disable/re-enable
interface "cgroup.pressure", which is a read-write single value file that
allowed values are "0" and "1", the defaults is "1" so per-cgroup
PSI stats is enabled by default.
Implementation details:
It should be relatively straight-forward to disable and re-enable
state aggregation, time tracking, averaging on a per-cgroup level,
if we can live with losing history from while it was disabled.
I.e. the avgs will restart from 0, total= will have gaps.
But it's hard or complex to stop/restart groupc->tasks[] updates,
which is not implemented in this patch. So we always update
groupc->tasks[] and PSI_ONCPU bit in psi_group_change() even when
the cgroup PSI stats is disabled.
