[PATCH] perf stat: Support old kernels for bperf cgroup counting

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Sep 22 2022 - 00:14:46 EST


The recent change in the cgroup will break the backward compatiblity in
the BPF program. It should support both old and new kernels using BPF
CO-RE technique.

Like the task_struct->__state handling in the offcpu analysis, we can
check the field name in the cgroup struct.

Arnaldo, I think this should go through the cgroup tree since it depends
on the earlier change there. I don't think it'd conflict with other
perf changes but please let me know if you see any trouble, thanks!
