In cgroup1, while cpuacct isn't actually controlling any resources, it is a separate controller due to combination of two factors - 1. enabling cpu controller has significant side effects, and 2. we have to pick one of the hierarchies to account CPU usages on. cpuacct controller is effectively used to designate a hierarchy to track CPU usages on. cgroup2's unified hierarchy removes the second reason and we can account basic CPU usages by default. While we can use cpuacct for this purpose, both its interface and implementation leave a lot to be desired - it collects and exposes two sources of truth which don't agree with each other and some of the exposed statistics don't make much sense. Also, it propagates all the way up the hierarchy on each accounting event which is unnecessary. This patch adds basic resource accounting mechanism to cgroup2's unified hierarchy and accounts CPU usages using it. * All accountings are done per-cpu and don't propagate immediately. It just bumps the per-cgroup per-cpu counters and links to the parent's updated list if not already on it. * On a read, the per-cpu counters are collected into the global ones and then propagated upwards. Only the per-cpu counters which have changed since the last read are propagated. * CPU usage stats are collected and shown in "cgroup.stat" with "cpu." prefix. Total usage is collected from scheduling events. User/sys breakdown is sourced from tick sampling and adjusted to the usage using cputime_adjust(). This keeps the accounting side hot path O(1) and per-cpu and the read side O(nr_updated_since_last_read). v2: Minor changes and documentation updates as suggested by Waiman and Roman.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
