Subject: [PATCH 0/2] cgroup, sched: add bpf for cgroup cpu controller
Date: Thu, 13 Aug 2026 11:58:44 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260813185846.1216892-1-ziyang.meme@gmail.com> (raw)

As the title suggests, this series adds bpf kfuncs for the cgroup CPU
controller.

Motivation:
Collecting cgroup statistics is expensive: the existing
method is to open and parse a cgroup file. memcg already has an
efficient alternative through BPF; this series extends that idea to cpu.

Design:
- Leave reading the CFS bandwidth counters to the BPF program. They are
  plain fields of tg->cfs_bandwidth, so they need no kernel code.
- Add one kfunc to compute the throttled time. This is necessary because
  it is a sum over every possible cpu, which a user cannot do itself.

The only part it touches the scheduler part is to discard the static for
throttled_time_self() in order to use externally.

Patch 1 adds the kfuncs (kernel/cgroup/bpf_cpu.c); patch 2 adds a
test_progs selftest.

Tested on VM with v7.2-rc5.
