Yonghong Song cf83b2d2e2 bpf: Permit cond_resched for some iterators 
Commit e679654a70 ("bpf: Fix a rcu_sched stall issue with
bpf task/task_file iterator") tries to fix rcu stalls warning
which is caused by bpf task_file iterator when running
"bpftool prog".

      rcu: INFO: rcu_sched self-detected stall on CPU
      rcu: \x097-....: (20999 ticks this GP) idle=302/1/0x4000000000000000 softirq=1508852/1508852 fqs=4913

The fix is to limit the number of bpf program runs to be
one million. This fixed the program in most cases. But
we also found under heavy load, which can increase the wallclock
time for bpf_seq_read(), the warning may still be possible.

For example, calling bpf_delay() in the "while" loop of
bpf_seq_read(), which will introduce artificial delay,
the warning will show up in my qemu run.

  static unsigned q;
  volatile unsigned *p = &q;
  volatile unsigned long long ll;
  static void bpf_delay(void)
  {
         int i, j;

         for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
                 for (j = 0; j < 10000; j++)
                         ll += *p;
  }

There are two ways to fix this issue. One is to reduce the above
one million threshold to say 100,000 and hopefully rcu warning will
not show up any more. Another is to introduce a target feature
which enables bpf_seq_read() calling cond_resched().

This patch took second approach as the first approach may cause
more -EAGAIN failures for read() syscalls. Note that not all bpf_iter
targets can permit cond_resched() in bpf_seq_read() as some, e.g.,
netlink seq iterator, rcu read lock critical section spans through
seq_ops->next() -> seq_ops->show() -> seq_ops->next().

For the kernel code with the above hack, "bpftool p" roughly takes
38 seconds to finish on my VM with 184 bpf program runs.
Using the following command, I am able to collect the number of
context switches:
   perf stat -e context-switches -- ./bpftool p >& log
Without this patch,
   69      context-switches
With this patch,
   75      context-switches
This patch added additional 6 context switches, roughly every 6 seconds
to reschedule, to avoid lengthy no-rescheduling which may cause the
above RCU warnings.

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 Restructured Text 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.
