Currently we only have one sched_switch trace event for task switching, which is generated very early during task switch. When we try to monitor per-container perf events, this is not what we expect.
For example, we have a process A which is in the cgroup we monitor, and process B which isn't, when kernel switches from B to A, the sched_switch event is not recorded for this cgroup since it belongs to B (current process is still B util we finish the switch), but we require this event to signal that process A in this cgroup gets scheduled. This is crucial for calculating schedule latency (like `perf sched`). Ideally, we need to split the sched_switch event into two: sched_in event before we perform the switch, and sched_out event after we perform the switch. However, for compatibility, we can not change the sched_switch event. So before we have trace event alias, we can just reuse sched_switch and introduce sched_switch_post event instead.
