2011-11-28	perf tools: Eliminate duplicate code and use PATH_MAX consistently	Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo	1	-8/+7
	No need for multiple definitions for STR() and die(), also use SuSv2's PATH_MAX instead of adding MAX_PATH.

2011-04-08	perf: Fix a build error with some GCC versions	Eric Dumazet	1	-1/+1
	Fix this: util/cgroup.c: In function ‘open_cgroup’: util/cgroup.c:16:16: error: ‘saved_ptr’ may be used uninitialized in this function util/cgroup.c:16:16: note: ‘saved_ptr’ was declared here Apparently newer GCC (4.6) can figure out that this variable is properly initialized - but some versions of GCC (such as 4.5.2) need help.

2011-02-16	perf tool: Add cgroup support	Stephane Eranian	1	-0/+178
	This patch adds the ability to filter monitoring based on container groups (cgroups) for both perf stat and perf record. It is possible to monitor multiple cgroup in parallel. There is one cgroup per event. The cgroups to monitor are passed via a new -G option followed by a comma separated list of cgroup names. The cgroup filesystem has to be mounted. Given a cgroup name, the perf tool finds the corresponding directory in the cgroup filesystem and opens it. It then passes that file descriptor to the kernel. Example: $ perf stat -B -a -e cycles:u,cycles:u,cycles:u -G test1,,test2 -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1': 2,368,667,414 cycles test1 2,369,661,459 cycles <not counted> cycles test2 1.001856890 seconds time elapsed Signed-off-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> LKML-Reference: <4d590290.825bdf0a.7d0a.4890@mx.google.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
