From e422267322cd319e2695a535e47c5b1feeac45eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hari Bathini Date: Wed, 8 Mar 2017 02:11:36 +0530 Subject: perf: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend on namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event for recording namespaces related info. By recording info for every namespace, it is left to userspace to take a call on the definition of a container and trace containers by updating perf tool accordingly. Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each namespace.
