perf/core: Add PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP feature
The PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP bit is to save (perf_event) cgroup information in
the sample. It will add a 64-bit id to identify current cgroup and it's
the file handle in the cgroup file system. Userspace should use this
information with PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event to match which cgroup it
belongs.
I put it before PERF_SAMPLE_AUX for simplicity since it just needs a
64-bit word. But if we want bigger samples, I can work on that
direction too.
Committer testing:
$ pahole perf_sample_data | grep -w cgroup -B5 -A5
/* --- cacheline 4 boundary (256 bytes) was 56 bytes ago --- */
struct perf_regs regs_intr; /* 312 16 */
/* --- cacheline 5 boundary (320 bytes) was 8 bytes ago --- */
u64 stack_user_size; /* 328 8 */
u64 phys_addr; /* 336 8 */
u64 cgroup; /* 344 8 */
/* size: 384, cachelines: 6, members: 22 */
/* padding: 32 */
};
