[PATCH v5 3/3] perf tool: add cgroup identifier entry in perf report

From: Hari Bathini
Date: Tue Jan 17 2017 - 09:18:42 EST


This patch introduces a cgroup identifier entry field in perf report to
identify or distinguish data of different cgroups. It uses the device
number and inode number of cgroup namespace, included in perf data with
the new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event, as cgroup identifier. With the
assumption that each container is created with it's own cgroup namespace,
this allows assessment/analysis of multiple containers at once.

Shown below is the output of perf report, sorted based on cgroup id, on
a system that was running three containers at the time of perf record
and clearly showing one of the containers' considerable use of kernel
memory in comparison with others:


$ perf report -s cgroup_id,sample --stdio
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 2K of event 'kmem:kmalloc'
# Event count (approx.): 2176
#
# Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Samples
# ........ ..................... ............
#
89.20% 3/0xf00000cf 1941
3.31% 3/0xeffffffb 72
3.08% 3/0xf00000d0 67
2.25% 3/0xf00000d1 49
2.16% 0/0x0 47
