    cgroup: add cpu.stat file to root cgroup · 936f2a70
    Boris Burkov authored
    Currently, the root cgroup does not have a cpu.stat file. Add one which
    is consistent with /proc/stat to capture global cpu statistics that
    might not fall under cgroup accounting.
    
    We haven't done this in the past because the data are already presented
    in /proc/stat and we didn't want to add overhead from collecting root
    cgroup stats when cgroups are configured, but no cgroups have been
    created.
    
    By keeping the data consistent with /proc/stat, I think we avoid the
    first problem, while improving the usability of cgroups stats.
    We avoid the second problem by computing the contents of cpu.stat from
    existing data collected for /proc/stat anyway.
