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.
