When using -G with one cgroup and -e with multiple events, only the
first event gets the correct cgroup setting, all events from the second
onwards will track system-wide events.
If the user wants to track multiple events for a specific cgroup, the
user must give parameters like the following:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test,test,test
This patch simplify this case, just type one cgroup:
$ perf stat -e e1 -e e2 -e e3 -G test
$ mkdir -p /sys/fs/cgroup/perf_event/empty_cgroup
$ perf stat -e cycles -e cache-misses -a -I 1000 -G empty_cgroup
Before:
1.001007226 <not counted> cycles empty_cgroup
1.001007226 7,506 cache-misses
After:
1.000834097 <not counted> cycles empty_cgroup
1.000834097 <not counted> cache-misses empty_cgroup

counting ]
