Recently bperf was added to use BPF to count perf events for various purposes. This is an extension for the approach and targetting to cgroup usages. Unlike the other bperf, it doesn't share the events with other processes but it'd reduce unnecessary events (and the overhead of multiplexing) for each monitored cgroup within the perf session. When --for-each-cgroup is used with --bpf-counters, it will open cgroup-switches event per cpu internally and attach the new BPF program to read given perf_events and to aggregate the results for cgroups. It's only called when task is switched to a task in a different cgroup.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
