-CPU Accounting Controller
--------------------------
-
-The CPU accounting controller is used to group tasks using cgroups and
-account the CPU usage of these groups of tasks.
-
-The CPU accounting controller supports multi-hierarchy groups. An accounting
-group accumulates the CPU usage of all of its child groups and the tasks
-directly present in its group.
-
-Accounting groups can be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem.
-
-# mkdir /cgroups
-# mount -t cgroup -ocpuacct none /cgroups
-
-With the above step, the initial or the parent accounting group
-becomes visible at /cgroups. At bootup, this group includes all the
-tasks in the system. /cgroups/tasks lists the tasks in this cgroup.
-/cgroups/cpuacct.usage gives the CPU time (in nanoseconds) obtained by
-this group which is essentially the CPU time obtained by all the tasks
-in the system.
-
-New accounting groups can be created under the parent group /cgroups.
-
-# cd /cgroups
-# mkdir g1
-# echo $$ > g1
-
-The above steps create a new group g1 and move the current shell
-process (bash) into it. CPU time consumed by this bash and its children
-can be obtained from g1/cpuacct.usage and the same is accumulated in
-/cgroups/cpuacct.usage also.
