This is a very heavy hammer for this task.
There is really no need for perf_event to be created.
Did you consider using raw_tp approach instead?
It doesn't need this heavy stuff.
Also I suspect in follow up you'd be adding tracepoints to GPU code?
Did you consider just leaving few __weak global functions in GPU code
and let bpf progs attach to them as fentry?
I suspect the true hierarchical nature of bpf-cgroup framework isn't necessary.
The bpf program itself can filter for given cgroup.
We have bpf_current_task_under_cgroup() and friends.
I suggest to sprinkle __weak empty funcs in GPU and see what
you can do with it with fentry and bpf_current_task_under_cgroup.
There is also bpf_get_current_ancestor_cgroup_id().
