[PATCH v2 0/2] cgroup: expose cpu.stat to BPF

[Ziyang Men]

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:
- Add bpf_css_flush_rstat() and bpf_cgroup_base_stat() to cgroup rstat.
  The second kfunc returns the raw cgroup_base_stat after the
  same cputime adjustment used by cpu.stat.
- 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 bpf_css_to_task_group(), which returns a checked RCU pointer of
  the task_group*. This is usefule to compute the throttled time in bpf
  side since the bpf_per_cpu_ptr() requires a verifier-known struct
  task_group * and a pointer carrying the MEM_PERCPU property. 
  This use the convention that task_group embeds its css at offset zero,
  so no scheduler helper or scheduler source change is needed.

===
Changes since v1:
- Make the rstat flush generic, move it to rstat.c, and take a css.
- Return cgroup_base_stat directly instead of repacking its CPU times.
- Replace the throttled-time aggregation kfunc with a checked RCU cast in
  the CPU cgroup BPF code. The cast preserves the verifier type needed for
  the BPF program to perform the per-CPU sum itself.
- Remove the changes in the scheduler part.

Tested on VM with v7.2-rc5.
