mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only for userspace

The oom_score_adj scale ranges from -1000 to 1000 and represents the
proportion of memory available to the process at allocation time.  This
means an oom_score_adj value of 300, for example, will bias a process as
though it was using an extra 30.0% of available memory and a value of
-350 will discount 35.0% of available memory from its usage.

The oom killer badness heuristic also uses this scale to report the oom
score for each eligible process in determining the "best" process to
kill.  Thus, it can only differentiate each process's memory usage by
0.1% of system RAM.

On large systems, this can end up being a large amount of memory: 256MB
on 256GB systems, for example.

This can be fixed by having the badness heuristic to use the actual
memory usage in scoring threads and then normalizing it to the
oom_score_adj scale for userspace.  This results in better comparison
between eligible threads for kill and no change from the userspace
perspective.

mm, oom: fix badness score underflow

If the privileges given to root threads (3% of allowable memory) or a
negative value of /proc/pid/oom_score_adj happen to exceed the amount of
rss of a thread, its badness score overflows as a result of commit
a7f638f999ff ("mm, oom: normalize oom scores to oom_score_adj scale only
for userspace").

Fix this by making the type signed and return 1, meaning the thread is
still eligible for kill, if the value is negative.

mm, oom: fix and cleanup oom score calculations

The divide in p->signal->oom_score_adj * totalpages / 1000 within
oom_badness() was causing an overflow of the signed long data type.

This adds both the root bias and p->signal->oom_score_adj before doing the
normalization which fixes the issue and also cleans up the calculation.

mm, oom: do not schedule if current has been killed

The oom killer currently schedules away from current in an uninterruptible
sleep if it does not have access to memory reserves.  It's possible that
current was killed because it shares memory with the oom killed thread or
because it was killed by the user in the interim, however.

This patch only schedules away from current if it does not have a pending
kill, i.e.  if it does not share memory with the oom killed thread.  It's
possible that it will immediately retry its memory allocation and fail,
but it will immediately be given access to memory reserves if it calls the
oom killer again.

This prevents the delay of memory freeing when threads that share memory
with the oom killed thread get unnecessarily scheduled.

mm, oom: fix potential killing of thread that is disabled from oom killing

/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task will immediately kill current when
the oom killer is called to avoid a potentially expensive tasklist scan
for large systems.

Currently, however, it is not checking current's oom_score_adj value which
may be OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN, meaning that it has been disabled from oom
killing.

This patch avoids killing current in such a condition and simply falls
back to the tasklist scan since memory still needs to be freed.

mm, oom: introduce helper function to process threads during scan

This patch introduces a helper function to process each thread during the
iteration over the tasklist.  A new return type, enum oom_scan_t, is
defined to determine the future behavior of the iteration:

 - OOM_SCAN_OK: continue scanning the thread and find its badness,

 - OOM_SCAN_CONTINUE: do not consider this thread for oom kill, it's
   ineligible,

 - OOM_SCAN_ABORT: abort the iteration and return, or

 - OOM_SCAN_SELECT: always select this thread with the highest badness
   possible.

There is no functional change with this patch.  This new helper function
will be used in the next patch in the memory controller.

mm, memcg: introduce own oom handler to iterate only over its own threads

The global oom killer is serialized by the per-zonelist
try_set_zonelist_oom() which is used in the page allocator.  Concurrent
oom kills are thus a rare event and only occur in systems using
mempolicies and with a large number of nodes.

Memory controller oom kills, however, can frequently be concurrent since
there is no serialization once the oom killer is called for oom conditions
in several different memcgs in parallel.

This creates a massive contention on tasklist_lock since the oom killer
requires the readside for the tasklist iteration.  If several memcgs are
calling the oom killer, this lock can be held for a substantial amount of
time, especially if threads continue to enter it as other threads are
exiting.

Since the exit path grabs the writeside of the lock with irqs disabled in
a few different places, this can cause a soft lockup on cpus as a result
of tasklist_lock starvation.

The kernel lacks unfair writelocks, and successful calls to the oom killer
usually result in at least one thread entering the exit path, so an
alternative solution is needed.

This patch introduces a seperate oom handler for memcgs so that they do
not require tasklist_lock for as much time.  Instead, it iterates only
over the threads attached to the oom memcg and grabs a reference to the
selected thread before calling oom_kill_process() to ensure it doesn't
prematurely exit.

This still requires tasklist_lock for the tasklist dump, iterating
children of the selected process, and killing all other threads on the
system sharing the same memory as the selected victim.  So while this
isn't a complete solution to tasklist_lock starvation, it significantly
reduces the amount of time that it is held.
