It's really critical to be able to associate a task in the logs to
cgroups which were valid that time. Or can we infer somehow what cgroups
a task was taking part, long time after task exit? Perhaps task cgroup
membership changes and changes in available cgroups should be logged too?

Some kind of cgroup IDs could be logged instead of long paths. Then
these IDs should be reliably resolvable to paths offline somehow.

How usual migrations between cgroups are? Why would a task ever move
from (say) systemd/system.slice/smartd.service to anywhere else?
