    perf: Add PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES to include namespaces related info · e4222673
    Hari Bathini authored
    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.
