Hello,

Generally looks good to me. Some comments on cosmetics / interface.

This was mentioned before and maybe I missed the following discussions but
given that cgroup.freeze is a part of core cgroup, cgroup.stat.local is
probably the right place. It's not great that cgroup.stat wouldn't be a
superset of cgroup.stat.local but we can add the hierarchical counter later
if necessary.

How about just frozen_usec? "_usec" is what we used in cpu.stat for time
stats.

It's a bit odd to include credit in a doc file. Maybe move it to the
description or add Co-developed-by: tag?

Thanks.
