    perf record: Synthesize namespace events for current processes · e907caf3
    Hari Bathini authored
    Synthesize PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES events for processes that were running prior
    to invocation of perf record. The data for this is taken from /proc/$PID/ns.
    These changes make way for analyzing events with regard to namespaces.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    Check if 'tool' is NULL in perf_event__synthesize_namespaces(), as in the
    test__mmap_thread_lookup case, i.e. 'perf test Lookup mmap thread".
    
    Testing it:
    
      # ps axH > /tmp/allthreads
      # perf record -a --namespaces usleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.169 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]
      # perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_NAMESPACES | wc -l
      602
      # wc -l /tmp/allthreads
      601 /tmp/allthreads
      # tail /tmp/allthreads
