[PATCH v5 1/3] perf: add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info

From: Hari Bathini
Date: Tue Jan 17 2017 - 09:17:49 EST


With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend
on namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for
namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event
for tracing based on namespaces related info.

Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes from v4:
* Added nr_namespaces to PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES record. Also added the
name of the namespaces.
