Namhyung Kim 96aaab6865 perf/core: Add PERF_RECORD_CGROUP event
To support cgroup tracking, add CGROUP event to save a link between
cgroup path and id number.  This is needed since cgroups can go away
when userspace tries to read the cgroup info (from the id) later.

The attr.cgroup bit was also added to enable cgroup tracking from
userspace.

This event will be generated when a new cgroup becomes active.
Userspace might need to synthesize those events for existing cgroups.

Committer testing:

From the resulting kernel, using /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux:

  $ pahole perf_event_attr | grep -w cgroup -B5 -A1
  	__u64                      write_backward:1;     /*    40:27  8 */
  	__u64                      namespaces:1;         /*    40:28  8 */
  	__u64                      ksymbol:1;            /*    40:29  8 */
  	__u64                      bpf_event:1;          /*    40:30  8 */
  	__u64                      aux_output:1;         /*    40:31  8 */
  	__u64                      cgroup:1;             /*    40:32  8 */
  	__u64                      __reserved_1:31;      /*    40:33  8 */

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.
