Hi Arnaldo,


Thanks for the review.

Update perf tool to examine PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by
the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked.
You forgot to update tools/perf/Documentation/ for all the options you
added, see more comments below.

Will fold the next patch into this one.

Why have this limitation, does the kernel has it as well? Just read the

Right. A max limit here seems unnecessary. Will get rid of this.

header, then allocate enough space, this way you don't need to have
those checks about tools being incompatible with a kernel that supports
more namespaces than the tool.
And then how can this take place, i.e. are you truncating the extra
namespaces coming from the kernel but continuing anyway, just after
warning the user once about it?

Currently, NR_NAMESPACES is 7 & NAMESPACES_MAX is 12. I don't think we would go
beyond 12 namespaces in the kernel anytime soon. The magic number 12 is based
on that assumption. So, truncating the extra namespaces coming from kernel
wasn't something I was concerned about. I will get rid of NAMESPACES_MAX magic
number as you suggested, thus not having to go by the assumption that the
kerenl may never have more than 12 namespaces.

But I think there is still a need to warn the user about different NR_NAMESPACES
value in kernel and perf because the warning was aimed at a scenario where
NR_NAMESPACES in the kernel is greater/less than the NR_NAMESPACES value
in perf.

Wouldn't this message get lost in the logs and the user be left
wondering why the namespaces it expects to be there to have vanished?

Hmmm.. Probably, while running perf-report or perf-script but not when data is
captured with perf-record. And that should be enough for the user to take a call
on where to post process or discard the data?

Sure. Will change that.
