BPF programs, such as LSM and sched_ext, would benefit from tags on cgroups. One common practice to apply such tags is to set xattrs on cgroupfs folders. Introduce kfunc bpf_cgroup_read_xattr, which allows reading cgroup's xattr. Note that, we already have bpf_get_[file|dentry]_xattr. However, these two APIs are not ideal for reading cgroupfs xattrs, because: 1) These two APIs only works in sleepable contexts; 2) There is no kfunc that matches current cgroup to cgroupfs dentry. bpf_cgroup_read_xattr is generic and can be useful for many program types. It is also safe, because it requires trusted or rcu protected argument (KF_RCU). Therefore, we make it available to all program types.

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
