Subject: [PATCH v2 00/14] per-cgroup /proc/stat

Hi,

This is a new shot of the per-cgroup /proc/stat series.
I believe this series is a huge improvement over the last one.
Basically, there is a control file in the root cgroup that controls
wether or not statistics will be collected in a per-cgroup fashion.
Only when this is on, a jump label is enabled allowing the "run to parent"
to happen. The parent cgroup's kstat is coincident with the system-wide kstat,
so we don't need special code for when cgroups-disabled, either runtime or
compile time.

cpuusage and cpuacct statistics are now also available in the cpu cgroup.
Since the task_group structure is already walked by the scheduler anyway,
by keeping everything in the same cgroup, we avoid multiple walks.

I also have a follow up patch that displays the information in this file
automatically in /proc/stat when requested, but I am not including in
this series. I'd like to give some second thoughts about that: Since I
am pretty stubborn, I haven't yet given up on coming up with a way to
tie namespaces and cgroups together in a good fashion for theses cases.

Glauber Costa (14):
  trivial: initialize root cgroup's sibling list
  Change cpustat fields to an array.
  Move /proc/stat logic inside sched.c
  split kernel stat in two
  Display /proc/stat information per cgroup
  Make total_forks per-cgroup
  per-cgroup boot time
  Report steal time for cgroup
  Keep nr_iowait per cgroup
  Keep number of context switches per-cgroup
  provide a version of cpuacct statistics inside cpu cgroup
  Keep number of running processes per-cgroup
  provide a version of cpuusage statistics inside cpu cgroup
  Change CPUACCT to default n
