perf offcpu: Track child processes
When -p option used or a workload is given, it needs to handle child processes. The perf_event can inherit those task events automatically. We can add a new BPF program in task_newtask tracepoint to track child processes. Before: $ sudo perf record --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging $ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu offcpu-time stats: SAMPLE events: 1 After: $ sudo perf record -a --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging $ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu offcpu-time stats: SAMPLE events: 856 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Blake Jones <blakejones@google.com> Cc: Hao Luo <haoluo@google.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Cc: bpf@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220811185456.194721-4-namhyung@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
