perf/core: Add PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event
To support cgroup tracking, add CGROUP event to save a link between cgroup path and id number. This is needed since cgroups can go away when userspace tries to read the cgroup info (from the id) later. The attr.cgroup bit was also added to enable cgroup tracking from userspace. This event will be generated when a new cgroup becomes active. Userspace might need to synthesize those events for existing cgroups. Committer testing: From the resulting kernel, using /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux: $ pahole perf_event_attr | grep -w cgroup -B5 -A1 __u64 write_backward:1; /* 40:27 8 */ __u64 namespaces:1; /* 40:28 8 */ __u64 ksymbol:1; /* 40:29 8 */ __u64 bpf_event:1; /* 40:30 8 */ __u64 aux_output:1; /* 40:31 8 */ __u64 cgroup:1; /* 40:32 8 */ __u64 __reserved_1:31; /* 40:33 8 */ $ Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> [staticize perf_event_cgroup function] Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200325124536.2800725-2-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
