This patch enhances the BPF helpers by adding a kfunc to retrieve the cgroup v2 of a task, addressing a previous limitation where only bpf_task_get_cgroup1 was available for cgroup v1. The new kfunc is particularly useful for scenarios where obtaining the cgroup ID of a task other than the "current" one is necessary, which the existing bpf_get_current_cgroup_id helper cannot accommodate. A specific use case at Netflix involved the sched_switch tracepoint, where we had to get the cgroup IDs of both the prev and next tasks. The bpf_task_get_cgroup kfunc acquires and returns a reference to a task's default cgroup, ensuring thread-safe access by correctly implementing RCU read locking and unlocking. It leverages the existing cgroup.h helper, and cgroup_tryget to safely acquire a reference to it. Signed-off-by: Jose Fernandez <josef@xxxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Tycho Andersen <tycho@tycho.pizza>
