If there are no listeners, taskstats_exit_send() just returns because
taskstats_exit_alloc() didn't allocate *tidstats. This is wrong, each
sub-thread should do fill_tgid_exit() on exit, otherwise its ->delays is
not recorded in ->signal->stats and lost.
Q: We don't send TASKSTATS_TYPE_AGGR_TGID when single-threaded process
exits. Is it good? How can the listener figure out that it was actually a
process exit, not sub-thread?

prepare_reply() adds GENL_HDRLEN to the payload (genlmsg_total_size()),
but then it does genlmsg_put()->nlmsg_put(). This means we forget to
reserve a room for 'struct nlmsghdr'.

'return genlmsg_cancel()' in taskstats_user_cmd/taskstats_exit_send
potentially leaks a skb. Unless we pass 'rep_skb' to the netlink layer
we own sk_buff. This means we should always do kfree_skb() on failure.
[ Thomas acked and pointed out missing return value in original version ]

fill_tgid() should skip not only an already exited group leader. If the
task has ->exit_state != 0 it already did exit_notify(), so it also did
fill_tgid_exit()->delayacct_add_tsk(->signal->stats) and we should skip it
to avoid a double accounting.
This patch doesn't close the race completely, but it cleanups the code.

Remove tasklist_lock from taskstats.c. find_task_by_pid() is rcu-safe.
->siglock allows us to traverse subthread without tasklist.
Q: delay accounting looks wrong to me. If sub-thread has already called
taskstats_exit_send() but didn't call release_task(self) yet it will be
accounted twice. The window is big. No?

signal_struct is (mostly) protected by ->sighand->siglock, I think we don't
need ->taskstats_lock to protect ->stats. This also allows us to simplify the
locking in fill_tgid().

1. fill_tgid() forgets to do put_task_struct(first).
2. release_task(first) can happen after fill_tgid() drops tasklist_lock,
it is unsafe to dereference first->signal.
This is a temporary fix, imho the locking should be reworked.

The addition of the CSA patch pushed the size of struct taskstats to 256
bytes. This exposed a problem with prepare_reply(), we were not allocating
space for the netlink and genetlink header. It worked earlier because
alloc_skb() would align the skb to SMP_CACHE_BYTES, which added some additonal
bytes.

on/off status
Complete the separation of delay accounting and taskstats by ignoring the
return value of delay accounting functions that fill in parts of taskstats
before it is sent out (either in response to a command or as part of a task
exit).
Also make delayacct_add_tsk return silently when delay accounting is turned
off rather than treat it as an error.

In send_cpu_listeners(), which is called on the exit path, a down_write()
was protecting operations like skb_clone() and genlmsg_unicast() that do
GFP_KERNEL allocations. If the oom-killer decides to kill tasks to satisfy
the allocations,the exit of those tasks could block on the same semphore.
The down_write() was only needed to allow removal of invalid listeners from
the listener list. The patch converts the down_write to a down_read and
defers the removal to a separate critical region. This ensures that even
if the oom-killer is called, no other task's exit is blocked as it can
still acquire another down_read.
Thanks to Andrew Morton & Herbert Xu for pointing out the oom related
pitfalls, and to Chandra Seetharaman for suggesting this fix instead of
using something more complex like RCU.

through cpumasks
On systems with a large number of cpus, with even a modest rate of tasks
exiting per cpu, the volume of taskstats data sent on thread exit can
overflow a userspace listener's buffers.
One approach to avoiding overflow is to allow listeners to get data for a
limited and specific set of cpus. By scaling the number of listeners
and/or the cpus they monitor, userspace can handle the statistical data
overload more gracefully.
In this patch, each listener registers to listen to a specific set of cpus
by specifying a cpumask. The interest is recorded per-cpu. When a task
exits on a cpu, its taskstats data is unicast to each listener interested
in that cpu.
Thanks to Andrew Morton for pointing out the various scalability and
general concerns of previous attempts and for suggesting this design.

Send per-tgid data only once during exit of a thread group instead of once
with each member thread exit.
Currently, when a thread exits, besides its per-tid data, the per-tgid data
of its thread group is also sent out, if its thread group is non-empty.
The per-tgid data sent consists of the sum of per-tid stats for all
*remaining* threads of the thread group.
This patch modifies this sending in two ways:
- the per-tgid data is sent only when the last thread of a thread group
exits. This cuts down heavily on the overhead of sending/receiving
per-tgid data, especially when other exploiters of the taskstats
interface aren't interested in per-tgid stats
- the semantics of the per-tgid data sent are changed. Instead of being
the sum of per-tid data for remaining threads, the value now sent is the
true total accumalated statistics for all threads that are/were part of
the thread group.
The patch also addresses a minor issue where failure of one accounting
subsystem to fill in the taskstats structure was causing the send of
taskstats to not be sent at all.
The patch has been tested for stability and run cerberus for over 4 hours
on an SMP.

Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC
family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their
lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple
accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay
accounting.
This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data
that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task.
Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an
additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.
