[v2,1/2] Tracking cgroup-level niced CPU time

Commit Message

From: Joshua Hahn <[e-mail]>

Cgroup-level CPU statistics currently include time spent on
user/system processes, but do not include niced CPU time (despite
already being tracked). This patch exposes niced CPU time to the
userspace, allowing users to get a better understanding of their
hardware limits and can facilitate more informed workload distribution.

A new field 'ntime' is added to struct cgroup_base_stat as opposed to
struct task_cputime to minimize footprint.

Patch looks fine to me but can you please do the followings?

- Add subsystem prefix to the patch titles. Look other commits for examples.

- Add Signed-off-by to both.

Thanks.

Hello, thank you for reviewing the v2.

I will send out a v3 with the signed-off-by, and I will add
cgroup/rstat to the patch title.
Thank you again!
