This reverts commit 9a9e97b2f1 ("cgroup: Add memory barriers to plug
cgroup_rstat_updated() race window").
The commit was added in anticipation of memcg rstat conversion which needed
synchronous accounting for the event counters (e.g. oom kill count). However,
the conversion didn't get merged due to percpu memory overhead concern which
couldn't be addressed at the time.
Unfortunately, the patch's addition of smp_mb() to cgroup_rstat_updated()
meant that every scheduling event now had to go through an additional full
barrier and Mel Gorman noticed it as 1% regression in netperf UDP_STREAM test.
There's no need to have this barrier in tree now and even if we need
synchronous accounting in the future, the right thing to do is separating that
out to a separate function so that hot paths which don't care about
synchronous behavior don't have to pay the overhead of the full barrier. Let's
revert.

cgroup->bstat_pending is used to determine the base stat delta to
propagate to the parent. While correct, this is different from how
percpu delta is determined for no good reason and the inconsistency
makes the code more difficult to understand.
This patch makes parent propagation delta calculation use the same
method as percpu to global propagation.
* cgroup_base_stat_accumulate() is renamed to cgroup_base_stat_add()
and cgroup_base_stat_sub() is added.
* percpu propagation calculation is updated to use the above helpers.
* cgroup->bstat_pending is replaced with cgroup->last_bstat and
updated to use the same calculation as percpu propagation.

cgroup_rstat_cpu_pop_updated() is used to traverse the updated cgroups
on flush. While it was only visiting updated ones in the subtree, it
was visiting @root unconditionally. We can easily check whether @root
is updated or not by looking at its ->updated_next just as with the
cgroups in the subtree.
* Remove the unnecessary cgroup_parent() test. The system root cgroup
is never updated and thus its ->updated_next is always NULL. No
need to test whether cgroup_parent() exists in addition to
->updated_next.
* Terminate traverse if ->updated_next is NULL. This can only happen
for subtree @root and there's no reason to visit it if it's not
marked updated.
This reduces cpu consumption when reading a lot of rstat backed files.
In a micro benchmark reading stat from ~1600 cgroups, the sys time was
lowered by >40%.

cgroup_rstat_updated() ensures that the cgroup's rstat is linked to
the parent. If there's no parent, it never gets linked and the
function ends up grabbing and releasing the cgroup_rstat_lock each
time for no reason which can be expensive.
This hasn't been a problem till now because nobody was calling the
function for the root cgroup but rstat is gonna be exposed to
controllers and use cases, so let's get ready. Make
cgroup_rstat_updated() an no-op for the root cgroup.

cgroup_rstat_updated() has a small race window where an updated
signaling can race with flush and could be lost till the next update.
This wasn't a problem for the existing usages, but we plan to use
rstat to track counters which need to be accurate.
This patch plugs the race window by synchronizing
cgroup_rstat_updated() and flush path with memory barriers around
cgroup_rstat_cpu->updated_next pointer.

This patch adds cgroup_subsys->css_rstat_flush(). If a subsystem has
this callback, its csses are linked on cgrp->css_rstat_list and rstat
will call the function whenever the associated cgroup is flushed.
Flush is also performed when such csses are released so that residual
counts aren't lost.
Combined with the rstat API previous patches factored out, this allows
controllers to plug into rstat to manage their statistics in a
scalable way.

Currently, rstat flush path is protected with a mutex which is fine as
all the existing users are from interface file show path. However,
rstat is being generalized for use by controllers and flushing from
atomic contexts will be necessary.
This patch replaces cgroup_rstat_mutex with a spinlock and adds a
irq-safe flush function - cgroup_rstat_flush_irqsafe(). Explicit
yield handling is added to the flush path so that other flush
functions can yield to other threads and flushers.

cgroup_rstat is being generalized so that controllers can use it too.
This patch factors out and exposes the following interface functions.
* cgroup_rstat_updated(): Renamed from cgroup_rstat_cpu_updated() for
consistency.
* cgroup_rstat_flush_hold/release(): Factored out from base stat
implementation.
* cgroup_rstat_flush(): Verbatim expose.
While at it, drop assert on cgroup_rstat_mutex in
cgroup_base_stat_flush() as it crosses layers and make a minor comment
update.
v2: Added EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(cgroup_rstat_updated) to fix a build bug.

Base resource stat accounts universial (not specific to any
controller) resource consumptions on top of rstat. Currently, its
implementation is intermixed with rstat implementation making the code
confusing to follow.
This patch clarifies the distintion by doing the followings.
* Encapsulate base resource stat counters, currently only cputime, in
struct cgroup_base_stat.
* Move prev_cputime into struct cgroup and initialize it with cgroup.
* Rename the related functions so that they start with cgroup_base_stat.
* Prefix the related variables and field names with b.
This patch doesn't make any functional changes.

stat is too generic a name and ends up causing subtle confusions.
It'll be made generic so that controllers can plug into it, which will
make the problem worse. Let's rename it to something more specific -
cgroup_rstat for cgroup recursive stat.
This patch does the following renames. No other changes.
* cpu_stat -> rstat_cpu
* stat -> rstat
* ?cstat -> ?rstatc
Note that the renames are selective. The unrenamed are the ones which
implement basic resource statistics on top of rstat. This will be
further cleaned up in the following patches.
