WTH is a cgroup-id? The syscall takes a fd to the path, why have two
different ways?

:-(

So basically you're doing a whole seconds cgroup interface, one that
violates the one counter per file premise and lives off of ioctl()s.

*IF* we're going to do something like this, I feel we should explore the
whole vector-per-fd concept before proceeding. Can we make it less yuck
(less special ioctl() and more regular file ops. Can we apply the
concept to more things?

The second patch extends the ioctl() to be more read() like, instead of
doing the sane things and extending read() by adding PERF_FORMAT_VECTOR
or whatever. In fact, this whole second ioctl() doesn't make sense to
have if we do indeed want to do vector-per-fd.

Also, I suppose you can already fake this, by having a
SW_CGROUP_SWITCHES (sorry, I though I picked those up, done now) event
with PERF_SAMPLE_READ|PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP and PERF_FORMAT_GROUP in a
group with a bunch of events. Then the buffer will fill with the values
you use here.

Yes, I suppose it has higher overhead, but you get the data you want
without having to do terrible things like this.

Not related to perf_cgroup_node below, afaict the name is just plain
wrong.

AFAICT this is actually a list of events, not a list of cgroup_node
thingies, hence the name is wrong.

Why? You could be doing a subtree.

This is wrong; there's no guarantee these are the same values you read
at the begin, IOW you could be loosing events.

Naming seems confused.

That sentence needs help.

The latter very much implies the former, no?

See the naming being daft.

While here it actually makes sense.

So today you think 200 cgroups is sane, tomorrow you'll complain 4k
cgroups is not enough.

How many more copies of that do we need?

That's like the complicated version of:

hash_bits = 1 + ilog2(max(MIN_CGRP_NODE_HASH, nr_cgrps) - 1);

So if we already had cgroups attached, we just plunk whatever state we
had, without re-hashing? That's hardly sane semantics for something
called 'attach'.

And if you want this behaviour, then you should probably also accept
nr_cgrps==0, but you don't do that either.

Below you extract perf_sched_enable(), so this is somewhat inconsistent
for not being perf_sched_disable() I'm thinking.

Also, the placement seems weird, do you really want this under
ctx->lock?

Why though; nothing here looks at the new cgroup state.
