perf trace: Support setting cgroups as targets

One can set a cgroup as a default cgroup to be used by all events or
set cgroups with the 'perf stat' and 'perf record' behaviour, i.e.
'-G A' will be the cgroup for events defined so far in the command line.

Here in my main machine, with a kvm instance running a rhel6 guinea pig
I have:

  # ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ | grep drw
  drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 360 Mar  6 12:04 ..
  drwxr-xr-x.  3 root root   0 Mar  6 15:05 machine.slice
  #

So I can go ahead and use that cgroup hierarchy, say lets see what
syscalls are being emitted by threads in that 'machine.slice' hierarchy
that are taking more than 100ms:

  # perf trace --duration 100 -G machine.slice
     0.188 (249.850 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   250.274 (249.743 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   500.224 (249.755 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   750.097 (249.934 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1000.244 (249.780 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1250.197 (249.796 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1500.124 (249.859 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
  1750.076 (172.900 ms): CPU 0/KVM/23744 ioctl(fd: 16<anon_inode:kvm-vcpu:0>, cmd: KVM_RUN) = 0
   902.570 (1021.116 ms): qemu-system-x8/23667 ppoll(ufds: 0x558151e03180, nfds: 74, tsp: 0x7ffc00cd0900, sigsetsize: 8) = 1
  1923.825 (305.133 ms): qemu-system-x8/23667 ppoll(ufds: 0x558151e03180, nfds: 74, tsp: 0x7ffc00cd0900, sigsetsize: 8) = 1

^C  #

If we look inside that cgroup hierarchy we get:

  # ls -la /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/machine.slice/ | grep drw
  drwxr-xr-x. 3 root root 0 Mar  6 15:05 .
  drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 Mar  6 16:16 machine-qemu\x2d2\x2drhel6.sandy.scope
  #

There is just one, but lets say there were more and we would want to see
5 seconds worth of syscall summary for the threads in that cgroup:

  # perf trace --summary -G machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2d2\\x2drhel6.sandy.scope/ -a sleep 5

different events in the same command line.

--uid=::
Record events in threads owned by uid. Name or number.
-G::
--cgroup::
Record events in threads in a cgroup.
Look for cgroups to set at the /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event directory, then
remove the /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/ part and try:
perf trace -G A -e sched:*switch
Will set all raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}, pgfault, vfs_getname, etc
_and_ sched:sched_switch to the 'A' cgroup, while:
perf trace -e sched:*switch -G A
will only set the sched:sched_switch event to the 'A' cgroup, all the
other events (raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}, etc are left "without"
a cgroup (on the root cgroup, sys wide, etc).
Multiple cgroups:
perf trace -G A -e sched:*switch -G B
the syscall ones go to the 'A' cgroup, the sched:sched_switch goes
to the 'B' cgroup.
--filter-pids=::
Filter out events for these pids and for 'trace' itself (comma separated list).
