When a perf_event is attached to parent cgroup, it should count events
for all children cgroups:
parent_group <---- perf_event
\
- child_group <---- process(es)
However, in our tests, we found this perf_event cannot report reliable
results. Here is an example case:
# create cgroups
mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c
# start perf for parent group
perf stat -e instructions -G "p"
# on another console, run test process in child cgroup:
stressapptest -s 2 -M 1000 & echo $! > /sys/fs/cgroup/p/c/cgroup.procs
# after the test process is done, stop perf in the first console shows
<not counted> instructions p
The instruction should not be "not counted" as the process runs in the
child cgroup.
We found this is because perf_event->cgrp and cpuctx->cgrp are not
identical, thus perf_event->cgrp are not updated properly.
This patch fixes this by updating perf_cgroup properly for ancestor
cgroup(s).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
