Subject: perf namespaces: Introduce nsinfo__set_in_pidns()
X-Git-Tag: v6.14-rc1~120^2~62
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9c6a585d257f6845731f4e36b45fe42b5c3162f5;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

perf namespaces: Introduce nsinfo__set_in_pidns()

When we're processing a perf.data file we will, for every thread in that
file do a machine__findnew_thread(machine, pid, tid) that when that pid
is seen for the first time will create a 'struct thread' representing
it.

That in turn will call nsinfo__new() -> nsinfo__init() and there it will
assume we're running live, which is wrong and will need to be addressed
in a followup patch.

The nsinfo__new() assumes that if we can't access that thread it has
already finished and will ignore the -1 return from nsinfo__init(), just
taking notes to avoid trying to enter in that namespace, since it isn't
there anymore, a race.

When doing this from 'perf inject', tho, we can fill in parts of that
nsinfo from what we get from the PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 (pid, tid) and in the
jitdump file name, that has the form of jit-<PID>.dump.

So if the pid in the jitdump file name is not the one in the
PERF_RECORD_MMAP2, we can assume that its the pid of the process
_inside_ the namespace, and that perf was runing outside that namespace.

This will be done in the following patch.
