    perf stat: Add --for-each-cgroup option · d1c5a0e8
    Namhyung Kim authored
    The --for-each-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number
    of cgroups easily.  Current command line requires to list all the events
    and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each cgroup.
    This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for each cgroup
    on user's behalf.
    
    For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each they
    should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names (with -G)
    on the command line.  But with this change, they can just specify 6
    events and 200 cgroups with a new option.
    
    A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups ('A'
    and 'B').  The result is that total 6 events are counted like below.
    
      $ perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup A,B sleep 1
