Namhyung Kim 314f50ce4e perf stat: Fix handling of --for-each-cgroup with --bpf-counters to match non BPF mode
[ Upstream commit 54b353a20c ]

The --for-each-cgroup can have the same cgroup multiple times, but this
confuses BPF counters (since they have the same cgroup id), making only
the last cgroup events to be counted.

Let's check the cgroup name before adding a new entry to the cgroups
list.

Before:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

       <not counted> msec cpu-clock                        /
       <not counted>      context-switches                 /
       <not counted>      cpu-migrations                   /

       <not counted>      branches                         /
       <not counted>      branch-misses                    /

          57,692,724      branches                         /                #    7.197 M/sec
           3,385,168      branch-misses                    /                #    5.87% of all branches

         1.002220125 seconds time elapsed

After it becomes similar to the non-BPF mode:

  $ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/  sleep 1

           3,685,511      branch-misses                    /                #    3.88% of all branches

         1.001864539 seconds time elapsed

Committer notes:

As a reminder, to test with BPF counters one has to use BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1
in the make command line and have clang/llvm installed when building
perf, otherwise the --bpf-counters option will not be available:

  # perf stat -a --bpf-counters --for-each-cgroup /,/ sleep 1
  Error: unknown option `bpf-counters'

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -a, --all-cpus        system-wide collection from all CPUs
  <SNIP>

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
