Chen Yu e79f15a459 x86/resctrl: Add task resctrl information display
Monitoring tools that want to find out which resctrl control and monitor
groups a task belongs to must currently read the "tasks" file in every
group until they locate the process ID.

Add an additional file /proc/{pid}/cpu_resctrl_groups to provide this
information:

1)   res:
     mon:

resctrl is not available.

2)   res:/
     mon:

Task is part of the root resctrl control group, and it is not associated
to any monitor group.

3)  res:/
    mon:mon0

Task is part of the root resctrl control group and monitor group mon0.

4)  res:group0
    mon:

Task is part of resctrl control group group0, and it is not associated
to any monitor group.

5) res:group0
   mon:mon1

Task is part of resctrl control group group0 and monitor group mon1.

config PROC_FS
bool "/proc file system support" if EXPERT
default y
help
This is a virtual file system providing information about the status
of the system. "Virtual" means that it doesn't take up any space on
your hard disk: the files are created on the fly by the kernel when
you try to access them. Also, you cannot read the files with older
version of the program less: you need to use more or cat.
It's totally cool; for example, "cat /proc/interrupts" gives
information about what the different IRQs are used for at the moment
(there is a small number of Interrupt ReQuest lines in your computer
that are used by the attached devices to gain the CPU's attention --
often a source of trouble if two devices are mistakenly configured
to use the same IRQ). The program procinfo to display some
information about your system gathered from the /proc file system.
Before you can use the /proc file system, it has to be mounted,
meaning it has to be given a location in the directory hierarchy.
That location should be /proc. A command such as "mount -t proc proc
/proc" or the equivalent line in /etc/fstab does the job.
The /proc file system is explained in the file
<file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> and on the proc(5) manpage
("man 5 proc").
This option will enlarge your kernel by about 67 KB. Several
programs depend on this, so everyone should say Y here.
config PROC_KCORE
bool "/proc/kcore support" if !ARM
depends on PROC_FS && MMU
select CRASH_CORE
help
Provides a virtual ELF core file of the live kernel. This can
be read with gdb and other ELF tools. No modifications can be
made using this mechanism.
config PROC_VMCORE
bool "/proc/vmcore support"
depends on PROC_FS && CRASH_DUMP
default y
help
Exports the dump image of crashed kernel in ELF format.
config PROC_VMCORE_DEVICE_DUMP
bool "Device Hardware/Firmware Log Collection"
depends on PROC_VMCORE
default n
help
After kernel panic, device drivers can collect the device
specific snapshot of their hardware or firmware before the
underlying devices are initialized in crash recovery kernel.
Note that the device driver must be present in the crash
recovery kernel's initramfs to collect its underlying device
snapshot.
If you say Y here, the collected device dumps will be added
as ELF notes to /proc/vmcore. You can still disable device
dump using the kernel command line option 'novmcoredd'.
config PROC_SYSCTL
bool "Sysctl support (/proc/sys)" if EXPERT
depends on PROC_FS
select SYSCTL
default y
---help---
The sysctl interface provides a means of dynamically changing
certain kernel parameters and variables on the fly without requiring
a recompile of the kernel or reboot of the system. The primary
interface is through /proc/sys. If you say Y here a tree of
modifiable sysctl entries will be generated beneath the
/proc/sys directory. They are explained in the files
in <file:Documentation/admin-guide/sysctl/>. Note that enabling this
option will enlarge the kernel by at least 8 KB.
As it is generally a good thing, you should say Y here unless
building a kernel for install/rescue disks or your system is very
limited in memory.
config PROC_PAGE_MONITOR
default y
depends on PROC_FS && MMU
bool "Enable /proc page monitoring" if EXPERT
help
Various /proc files exist to monitor process memory utilization:
/proc/pid/smaps, /proc/pid/clear_refs, /proc/pid/pagemap,
/proc/kpagecount, and /proc/kpageflags. Disabling these
interfaces will reduce the size of the kernel by approximately 4kb.
config PROC_CHILDREN
bool "Include /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children file"
default n
help
Provides a fast way to retrieve first level children pids of a task. See
<file:Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt> for more information.
Say Y if you are running any user-space software which takes benefit from
this interface. For example, rkt is such a piece of software.
