Namhyung Kim 8fb4b67939 perf record: Add --all-cgroups option
The --all-cgroups option is to enable cgroup profiling support.  It
tells kernel to record CGROUP events in the ring buffer so that perf
report can identify task/cgroup association later.

  [root@seventh ~]# perf record --all-cgroups --namespaces /wb/cgtest
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.042 MB perf.data (558 samples) ]
  [root@seventh ~]# perf report --stdio -s cgroup_id,cgroup,pid
  # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options.

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.
