I've read the discussion in [1] but I don't think this approach is
correct either (and I don't know what is better :-/).

I only have a qualitative proof:

host:~ # uname -r
5.10.16-1-default

host:~ # systemd-run -p CPUAccounting=yes sh -c 'time sh -c "i=0 ; while [ 
\"\$i\" -lt 10000 ] ; do i=\$((\$i+1)) ; cat /proc/slabinfo >/dev/null ; done" 
; sleep inf'
Running as unit: run-r101b9f53efcb4d2a9bfb65feb6f120ca.service

host:~ # cat 
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/system.slice/run-r101b9f53efcb4d2a9bfb65feb6f120ca.service/cpuacct.usage{,_user,_sys}
16138535165
14332580468
1805954697

(See that sys/user ~ 0.1)

host:~ # journalctl -u run-r101b9f53efcb4d2a9bfb65feb6f120ca.service

Mar 02 18:27:45 host sh[19117]: sys        0m5.379s

(See that sys/user ~ 0.5)

host:~ # cat 
/sys/fs/cgroup/cpuacct/system.slice/run-r101b9f53efcb4d2a9bfb65feb6f120ca.service/cpuacct.stat
user 415
system 1209

(See that sys/user ~ 3.0 :-o)

The expectation is that significant amount of the loop is spent in
kernel (dumping slabinfo). I can't tell which of the ratios fits the
reality best but the cpuacct.usage_sys still seems too low.
