With the advert of container technologies like docker, that depend on namespaces for isolation, there is a need for tracing support for namespaces. This patch introduces new PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES event for recording namespaces related info. By recording info for every namespace, it is left to userspace to take a call on the definition of a container and trace containers by updating perf tool accordingly. Each namespace has a combination of device and inode numbers. Though every namespace has the same device number currently, that may change in future to avoid the need for a namespace of namespaces. Considering such possibility, record both device and inode numbers separately for each namespace.

README
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.
