Hmm....maybe need to mount cgroup in the container (again) and get an access to cgroup hierarchy and find the cgroup it belongs to......if it's allowed.An application should always know the cgroup that its attached to and be able to read its state using the command that I gave earlier.
I disagree. For simple applications, yes. For full containers, the cgroup in which it lives in is considered part of the external world. It should not have any kind of access to it. Also, tools need to work transparently. That's the same case with /proc/stat, used for top. We can't expect people to recode top to work on containerized environments.
