perf top: Add --all-cgroups option
The --all-cgroups option is to enable cgroup profiling support. It tells kernel to record CGROUP events in the ring buffer so that 'perf top' can identify task/cgroup association later. Committer testing: Use: # perf top --all-cgroups -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> 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/20200325124536.2800725-9-namhyung@kernel.org Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200402015249.3800462-1-namhyung@kernel.org [ Extracted the HAVE_FILE_HANDLE from the followup patch ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
