From: Ze Gao <zegao2021@xxxxxxxxx>
Internal representations of task state are likely to be changed
or ordered, and reporting them to userspace without exporting
them as part of API is basically wrong, which can easily break
a userspace observability tool as kernel evolves. For example,
perf suffers from this and still reports wrong states as of this
writing.
OTOH, some masqueraded states like TASK_REPORT_IDLE and
TASK_REPORT_MAX are also reported inadvertently, which confuses
things even more and most userspace tools do not even take them
into consideration.
So add a new variable in company with the old raw value to
report task state in symbolic chars, which are self-explaining
and no further translation is needed. Of course this does not
break any userspace tool.
Note for PREEMPT_ACTIVE, we introduce 'p' to report it and use
the old conventions for the rest.
