+ * Pressure stall information for CPU, memory and IO
+ *
+ * Copyright (c) 2018 Facebook, Inc.
+ * Author: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>
+ *
+ * When CPU, memory and IO are contended, tasks experience delays that
+ * reduce throughput and introduce latencies into the workload. Memory
+ * and IO contention, in addition, can cause a full loss of forward
+ * progress in which the CPU goes idle.
+ *
+ * This code aggregates individual task delays into resource pressure
+ * metrics that indicate problems with both workload health and
+ * resource utilization.
+ *
+ * Model
+ *
+ * The time in which a task can execute on a CPU is our baseline for
+ * productivity. Pressure expresses the amount of time in which this
+ * potential cannot be realized due to resource contention.
+ *
+ * This concept of productivity has two components: the workload and
+ * the CPU. To measure the impact of pressure on both, we define two
+ * contention states for a resource: SOME and FULL.
+ *
+ * In the SOME state of a given resource, one or more tasks are
+ * delayed on that resource. This affects the workload's ability to
+ * perform work, but the CPU may still be executing other tasks.
+ *
+ * In the FULL state of a given resource, all non-idle tasks are
+ * delayed on that resource such that nobody is advancing and the CPU
+ * goes idle. This leaves both workload and CPU unproductive.
+ *
+ * (Naturally, the FULL state doesn't exist for the CPU resource.)
+ *
+ * SOME = nr_delayed_tasks != 0
+ * FULL = nr_delayed_tasks != 0 && nr_running_tasks == 0
+ *
+ * The percentage of wallclock time spent in those compound stall
+ * states gives pressure numbers between 0 and 100 for each resource,
+ * where the SOME percentage indicates workload slowdowns and the FULL
+ * percentage indicates reduced CPU utilization:
+ *
+ * %SOME = time(SOME) / period
+ * %FULL = time(FULL) / period
+ *
+ * Multiple CPUs
+ *
+ * The more tasks and available CPUs there are, the more work can be
+ * performed concurrently. This means that the potential that can go
+ * unrealized due to resource contention *also* scales with non-idle
+ * tasks and CPUs.
+ *
+ * Consider a scenario where 257 number crunching tasks are trying to
+ * run concurrently on 256 CPUs. If we simply aggregated the task
+ * states, we would have to conclude a CPU SOME pressure number of
+ * 100%, since *somebody* is waiting on a runqueue at all
+ * times. However, that is clearly not the amount of contention the
+ * workload is experiencing: only one out of 256 possible exceution
+ * threads will be contended at any given time, or about 0.4%.
+ *
+ * Conversely, consider a scenario of 4 tasks and 4 CPUs where at any
+ * given time *one* of the tasks is delayed due to a lack of memory.
+ * Again, looking purely at the task state would yield a memory FULL
+ * pressure number of 0%, since *somebody* is always making forward
+ * progress. But again this wouldn't capture the amount of execution
+ * potential lost, which is 1 out of 4 CPUs, or 25%.
+ *
+ * To calculate wasted potential (pressure) with multiple processors,
+ * we have to base our calculation on the number of non-idle tasks in
+ * conjunction with the number of available CPUs, which is the number
+ * of potential execution threads. SOME becomes then the proportion of
+ * delayed tasks to possibe threads, and FULL is the share of possible
+ * threads that are unproductive due to delays:
+ *
+ * threads = min(nr_nonidle_tasks, nr_cpus)
+ * SOME = min(nr_delayed_tasks / threads, 1)
+ * FULL = (threads - min(nr_running_tasks, threads)) / threads
+ *
+ * For the 257 number crunchers on 256 CPUs, this yields:
+ *
+ * threads = min(257, 256)
+ * SOME = min(1 / 256, 1) = 0.4%
+ * FULL = (256 - min(257, 256)) / 256 = 0%
+ *
+ * For the 1 out of 4 memory-delayed tasks, this yields:
+ *
+ * threads = min(4, 4)
+ * SOME = min(1 / 4, 1) = 25%
+ * FULL = (4 - min(3, 4)) / 4 = 25%
+ *
+ * [ Substitute nr_cpus with 1, and you can see that it's a natural
+ * extension of the single-CPU model. ]
+ *
+ * Implementation
+ *
+ * To assess the precise time spent in each such state, we would have
+ * to freeze the system on task changes and start/stop the state
+ * clocks accordingly. Obviously that doesn't scale in practice.
+ *
+ * Because the scheduler aims to distribute the compute load evenly
+ * among the available CPUs, we can track task state locally to each
+ * CPU and, at much lower frequency, extrapolate the global state for
+ * the cumulative stall times and the running averages.
+ *
+ * For each runqueue, we track:
+ *
+ * tSOME[cpu] = time(nr_delayed_tasks[cpu] != 0)
+ * tFULL[cpu] = time(nr_delayed_tasks[cpu] && !nr_running_tasks[cpu])
+ * tNONIDLE[cpu] = time(nr_nonidle_tasks[cpu] != 0)
+ *
+ * and then periodically aggregate:
+ *
+ * tNONIDLE = sum(tNONIDLE[i])
+ *
+ * tSOME = sum(tSOME[i] * tNONIDLE[i]) / tNONIDLE
+ * tFULL = sum(tFULL[i] * tNONIDLE[i]) / tNONIDLE
+ *
+ * %SOME = tSOME / period
+ * %FULL = tFULL / period
+ *
+ * This gives us an approximation of pressure that is practical
+ * cost-wise, yet way more sensitive and accurate than periodic
+ * sampling of the aggregate task states would be.
