Regarding "Control groups (cgroups) perform two basic functions in the kernel: they allow the hierarchical grouping of processes, and they enable the use of controllers to apply resource limits to the processes in each group.":

I want to add in this context that cgroups are used also for accounting for usage of resources, which is also an important part of their role.
