[PATCH 0/2] Exposing nice CPU usage to userspace

[Joshua Hahn joshua.hahn6@gmail.com]

From: Joshua Hahn <joshua.hahn6@gmail.com>

Niced CPU usage is a metric reported in host-level /proc/stat, but is
not reported in cgroup-level statistics in cpu.stat. However, when a
host contains multiple tasks across different workloads, it becomes
difficult to gauage how much of the task is being spent on niced
processes based on /proc/stat alone, since host-level metrics do not
provide this cgroup-level granularity.

Exposing this metric will allow load balancers to correctly probe the
niced CPU metric for each workload, and make more informed decisions
when directing higher priority tasks.
