// cgroup-aware GOMAXPROCS default
//
// At startup (defaultGOMAXPROCSInit), we read /proc/self/cgroup and /proc/self/mountinfo
// to find our current CPU cgroup and open its limit file(s), which remain open
// for the entire process lifetime. We periodically read the current limit by
// rereading the limit file(s) from the beginning.
//
// This makes reading updated limits simple, but has a few downsides:
//
// 1. We only read the limit from the leaf cgroup that actually contains this
// process. But a parent cgroup may have a tighter limit. That tighter limit
// would be our effective limit. That said, container runtimes tend to hide
// parent cgroups from the container anyway.
//
// 2. If the process is migrated to another cgroup while it is running it will
// not notice, as we only check which cgroup we are in once at startup.
