This patchset makes perf_event implicitly enabled on the v2 hierarchy so that cgroup v2 path automatically works with "perf record --cgroup" as long as perf_event controller is available and not mounted on a legacy hierarchy. "perf record" is updated so that it searches for both v1 hierarchy w/ perf_event on it and v2 hierarchy. The v1 hierarchy is used if exists; otherwise, v2 is used, making the transition transparent to users.
All the prerequisite patches are now available in cgroup/for-4.6 branch. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup.git for-4.6 If the perf_event changes look okay, we can either apply the first patch to cgroup/for-4.6, pull that into perf tree and aply the perf change there or route both through cgroup tree. Ideas? Thanks. -- tejun
