Hello Alexey,

I am not sure about the idea to add syscalls for all sort of process
attributes. For example, in CRIU we need file descriptors with their
properties, which we currently get from /proc/pid/fdinfo/. How can
this interface be extended to achieve our goal?

Have you seen the task-diag interface what I sent about a year ago?

We had a discussion on the previous kernel summit how to rework
task-diag, so that it can be merged into the upstream kernel.
Unfortunately, I didn't send a summary for this discussion. But it's
better now than never. We decided to do something like this:

1. Add a new syscall readfile(fname, buf, size), which can be
used to read small files without opening a file descriptor. It will be
useful for proc files, configs, etc.

2. bin/text/bin conversion is very slow
- 65.47% proc_pid_status
- 20.81% render_sigset_t
- 18.27% seq_printf
+ 15.77% seq_vprintf
- 10.65% task_mem
+ 8.78% seq_print
+ 1.02% hugetlb_rep
+ 7.40% seq_printf
so a new interface has to use a binary format and the format of netlink
messages can be used here. It should be possible to extend a file
without breaking backward compatibility.

3. There are a lot of objection to use a netlink sockets out of the network
subsystem. The idea of using a "transaction" file looks weird for many
people, so we decided to add a few files in /proc/pid/. I see
minimum two files. One file contains information about a task, it is
mostly what we have in /proc/pid/status and /proc/pid/stat. Another file
describes a task memory, it is what we have now in /proc/pid/smaps.
Here is one more major idea. All attributes in a file has to be equal in
term of performance, or by other words there should not be attributes,
which significantly affect a generation time of a whole file.

If we look at /proc/pid/smaps, we spend a lot of time to get memory
statistics. This file contains a lot of data and if you read it to get
VmFlags, the kernel will waste your time by generating a useless data
for you.

Here is my slides for this discussion:
https://www.linuxplumbersconf.org/2016/ocw/system/presentations/4599/original/Netlink-issues.pdf

Could you add me into recipients for this sort of patches in a future?

Thanks,
Andrei
