perf tools: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info
Introduce a new option to record PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events emitted by the kernel when fork, clone, setns or unshare are invoked. And update perf-record documentation with the new option to record namespace events. Committer notes: Combined it with a later patch to allow printing it via 'perf report -D' and be able to test the feature introduced in this patch. Had to move here also perf_ns__name(), that was introduced in another later patch. Also used PRIu64 and PRIx64 to fix the build in some enfironments wrt: util/event.c:1129:39: error: format '%lx' expects argument of type 'long unsigned int', but argument 6 has type 'long long unsigned int' [-Werror=format=] ret += fprintf(fp, "%u/%s: %lu/0x%lx%s", idx ^ Testing it: # perf record --namespaces -a ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.083 MB perf.data (423 samples) ] # # perf report -D <SNIP> 3 2028902078892 0x115140 [0xa0]: PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES 14783/14783 - nr_namespaces: 7 [0/net: 3/0xf0000081, 1/uts: 3/0xeffffffe, 2/ipc: 3/0xefffffff, 3/pid: 3/0xeffffffc, 4/user: 3/0xeffffffd, 5/mnt: 3/0xf0000000, 6/cgroup: 3/0xeffffffb] 0x1151e0 [0x30]: event: 9 . . ... raw event: size 48 bytes . 0000: 09 00 00 00 02 00 30 00 c4 71 82 68 0c 7f 00 00 ......0..q.h.... . 0010: a9 39 00 00 a9 39 00 00 94 28 fe 63 d8 01 00 00 .9...9...(.c.... . 0020: 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ce c4 02 00 00 00 00 00 ................ <SNIP> NAMESPACES events: 1 <SNIP> # Signed-off-by: Hari Bathini <hbathini@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@fb.com> Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli <ananth@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Aravinda Prasad <aravinda@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sargun Dhillon <sargun@sargun.me> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/148891930386.25309.18412039920746995488.stgit@hbathini.in.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
