perf report: Add 'cgroup' sort key
The cgroup sort key is to show cgroup membership of each task. Currently it shows full path in the cgroupfs (not relative to the root of cgroup namespace) since it'd be more intuitive IMHO. Otherwise root cgroup in different namespaces will all show same name - "/". The cgroup sort key should come before cgroup_id otherwise sort_dimension__add() will match it to cgroup_id as it only matches with the given substring. For example it will look like following. Note that record patch adding --all-cgroups patch will come later. $ perf record -a --namespace --all-cgroups cgtest [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.208 MB perf.data (4090 samples) ] $ perf report -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid ... # Overhead cgroup id (dev/inode) Cgroup Pid:Command # ........ ..................... .......... ............... # 93.96% 0/0x0 / 0:swapper 1.25% 3/0xeffffffb / 278:looper0 0.86% 3/0xf000015f /sub/cgrp1 280:cgtest 0.37% 3/0xf0000160 /sub/cgrp2 281:cgtest 0.34% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 282:cgtest 0.22% 3/0xeffffffb /sub 278:looper0 0.20% 3/0xeffffffb / 280:cgtest 0.15% 3/0xf0000163 /sub/cgrp3 285:looper3 Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200325124536.2800725-6-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
