This commit introduced per-cpu cgroup local storage. Per-cpu cgroup local storage is very similar to simple cgroup storage (let's call it shared), except all the data is per-cpu. The main goal of per-cpu variant is to implement super fast counters (e.g. packet counters), which don't require neither lookups, neither atomic operations. >From userspace's point of view, accessing a per-cpu cgroup storage is similar to other per-cpu map types (e.g. per-cpu hashmaps and arrays). Writing to a per-cpu cgroup storage is not atomic, but is performed by copying longs, so some minimal atomicity is here, exactly as with other per-cpu maps.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
