Jesper Dangaard Brouer 21c38a3bd4 cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock helpers and tracepoints 
This closely resembles helpers added for the global cgroup_rstat_lock in
commit fc29e04ae1 ("cgroup/rstat: add cgroup_rstat_lock helpers and
tracepoints"). This is for the per CPU lock cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock.

Based on production workloads, we observe the fast-path "update" function
cgroup_rstat_updated() is invoked around 3 million times per sec, while the
"flush" function cgroup_rstat_flush_locked(), walking each possible CPU,
can see periodic spikes of 700 invocations/sec.

For this reason, the tracepoints are split into normal and fastpath
versions for this per-CPU lock. Making it feasible for production to
continuously monitor the non-fastpath tracepoint to detect lock contention
issues. The reason for monitoring is that lock disables IRQs which can
disturb e.g. softirq processing on the local CPUs involved. When the
global cgroup_rstat_lock stops disabling IRQs (e.g converted to a mutex),
this per CPU lock becomes the next bottleneck that can introduce latency
variations.

A practical bpftrace script for monitoring contention latency:

 bpftrace -e '
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_lock_contended {
     @start[tid]=nsecs; @cnt[probe]=count()}
   tracepoint:cgroup:cgroup_rstat_cpu_locked {
     if (args->contended) {
       @wait_ns=hist(nsecs-@start[tid]); delete(@start[tid]);}
     @cnt[probe]=count()}
   interval:s:1 {time("%H:%M:%S "); print(@wait_ns); print(@cnt); clear(@cnt);}'

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
