Currently, the root cgroup does not have a cpu.stat file. Add one which is consistent with /proc/stat to capture global cpu statistics that might not fall under cgroup accounting. We haven't done this in the past because the data are already presented in /proc/stat and we didn't want to add overhead from collecting root cgroup stats when cgroups are configured, but no cgroups have been created. By keeping the data consistent with /proc/stat, I think we avoid the first problem, while improving the usability of cgroups stats. We avoid the second problem by computing the contents of cpu.stat from existing data collected for /proc/stat anyway.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
