These patches add a new cgroup control file output type - a map from strings to u64 values - and make use of it for the memory controller "stat" file. It is intended for use when the subsystem wants to return a collection of values that are related in some way, for which a separate control file for each value would make the reporting unwieldy. The advantages of this are: - more standardized output from control files that report similarly-structured data - less boilerplate required in cgroup subsystems - simplifies transition to a future efficient cgroups binary API Signed-off-by: Paul Menage <menage <at> google.com> --
