Subject: [PATCH v5 04/11] cgroup, sched: deprecate cpuacct

From: Tejun Heo <tj@...nel.org>

Now that cpu serves the same files as cpuacct and using cpuacct
separately from cpu is deprecated, we can deprecate cpuacct.  To avoid
disturbing userland which has been co-mounting cpu and cpuacct,
implement some hackery in cgroup core so that cpuacct co-mounting
still works even if cpuacct is disabled.

The goal of this patch is to accelerate disabling and removal of
cpuacct by decoupling kernel-side deprecation from userland changes.
Userland is recommended to do the following.

* If /proc/cgroups lists cpuacct, always co-mount it with cpu under
  e.g. /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu.

* Optionally create symlinks for compatibility -
  e.g. /sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct and /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu,cpucct both
  pointing to /sys/fs/cgroup/cpu - whether cpuacct exists or not.

This compatibility hack will eventually go away.
