* client: ensure minimal cgroup controllers enabled
This PR fixes a bug where Nomad could not operate properly on operating
systems that set the root cgroup.subtree_control to a set of controllers that
do not include the minimal set of controllers needed by Nomad.
Nomad needs these controllers enabled to operate:
- cpuset
- cpu
- io
- memory
- pids
Now, Nomad will ensure these controllers are enabled during Client initialization,
adding them to cgroup.subtree_control as necessary. This should be particularly
helpful on the RHEL/CentOS/Fedora family of system. Ubuntu systems should be
unaffected as they enable all controllers by default.

Running `make check` on macOS identifies some dead code because the code is used
only with the Linux build tag. Move this code into appropriately-tagged code
files.
Log lines which include an error should use the full term "error"
as the context key. This provides consistency across the codebase
and avoids a Go style which operators might not be aware of.
This PR refactors the cgroups v2 group kill code path to use the
cgroups.kill interface file for destroying the cgroup. Previously
we copied the freeze + sigkill + unfreeze pattern from the v1 code,
but v2 provides a more efficient and more race-free way to handle
this.
Closes#14371
This PR refactors the code path in Client startup for setting up the cpuset
cgroup manager (non-linux systems not affected).
Before, there was a logic bug where we would try to read the cpuset.cpus.effective
cgroup interface file before ensuring nomad's parent cgroup existed. Therefor that
file would not exist, and the list of useable cpus would be empty. Tasks started
thereafter would not have a value set for their cpuset.cpus.
The refactoring fixes some less than ideal coding style. Instead we now bootstrap
each cpuset manager type (v1/v2) within its own constructor. If something goes
awry during bootstrap (e.g. cgroups not enabled), the constructor returns the
noop implementation and logs a warning.
Fixes#14229
This PR modifies raw_exec and exec to ensure the cgroup for a task
they are driving still exists during a task restart. These drivers
have the same bug but with different root cause.
For raw_exec, we were removing the cgroup in 2 places - the cpuset
manager, and in the unix containment implementation (the thing that
uses freezer cgroup to clean house). During a task restart, the
containment would remove the cgroup, and when the task runner hooks
went to start again would block on waiting for the cgroup to exist,
which will never happen, because it gets created by the cpuset manager
which only runs as an alloc pre-start hook. The fix here is to simply
not delete the cgroup in the containment implementation; killing the
PIDs is enough. The removal happens in the cpuset manager later anyway.
For exec, it's the same idea, except DestroyTask is called on task
failure, which in turn calls into libcontainer, which in turn deletes
the cgroup. In this case we do not have control over the deletion of
the cgroup, so instead we hack the cgroup back into life after the
call to DestroyTask.
All of this only applies to cgroups v2.
This PR adds support for the raw_exec driver on systems with only cgroups v2.
The raw exec driver is able to use cgroups to manage processes. This happens
only on Linux, when exec_driver is enabled, and the no_cgroups option is not
set. The driver uses the freezer controller to freeze processes of a task,
issue a sigkill, then unfreeze. Previously the implementation assumed cgroups
v1, and now it also supports cgroups v2.
There is a bit of refactoring in this PR, but the fundamental design remains
the same.
Closes#12351#12348
This PR introduces support for using Nomad on systems with cgroups v2 [1]
enabled as the cgroups controller mounted on /sys/fs/cgroups. Newer Linux
distros like Ubuntu 21.10 are shipping with cgroups v2 only, causing problems
for Nomad users.
Nomad mostly "just works" with cgroups v2 due to the indirection via libcontainer,
but not so for managing cpuset cgroups. Before, Nomad has been making use of
a feature in v1 where a PID could be a member of more than one cgroup. In v2
this is no longer possible, and so the logic around computing cpuset values
must be modified. When Nomad detects v2, it manages cpuset values in-process,
rather than making use of cgroup heirarchy inheritence via shared/reserved
parents.
Nomad will only activate the v2 logic when it detects cgroups2 is mounted at
/sys/fs/cgroups. This means on systems running in hybrid mode with cgroups2
mounted at /sys/fs/cgroups/unified (as is typical) Nomad will continue to
use the v1 logic, and should operate as before. Systems that do not support
cgroups v2 are also not affected.
When v2 is activated, Nomad will create a parent called nomad.slice (unless
otherwise configured in Client conifg), and create cgroups for tasks using
naming convention <allocID>-<task>.scope. These follow the naming convention
set by systemd and also used by Docker when cgroups v2 is detected.
Client nodes now export a new fingerprint attribute, unique.cgroups.version
which will be set to 'v1' or 'v2' to indicate the cgroups regime in use by
Nomad.
The new cpuset management strategy fixes#11705, where docker tasks that
spawned processes on startup would "leak". In cgroups v2, the PIDs are
started in the cgroup they will always live in, and thus the cause of
the leak is eliminated.

This PR tweaks the TestCpusetManager_AddAlloc unit test to not break
when being run on a machine using cgroupsv2. The behavior of writing
an empty cpuset.cpu changes in cgroupv2, where such a group now inherits
the value of its parent group, rather than remaining empty.
The test in question was written such that a task would consume all available
cores shared on an alloc, causing the empty set to be written to the shared
group, which works fine on cgroupsv1 but breaks on cgroupsv2. By adjusting
the test to consume only 1 core instead of all cores, it no longer triggers
that edge case.
The actual fix for the new cgroupsv2 behavior will be in #11933
on Linux systems this is derived from the configure cpuset cgroup parent (defaults to /nomad)
for non Linux systems and Linux systems where cgroups are not enabled, the client defaults to using all cores
