/*
 * Pressure stall information for CPU, memory and IO
 *
 * Copyright (c) 2018 Facebook, Inc.

 *
 * 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.
