The --multiply-cgroup option is a syntax sugar to monitor large number
of cgroups easily. Current command line requires to list all the
events and cgroups even if users want to monitor same events for each
cgroup. This patch addresses that usage by copying given events for
each cgroup on user's behalf.
For instance, if they want to monitor 6 events for 200 cgroups each
they should write 1200 event names (with -e) AND 1200 cgroup names
(with -G) on the command line. But with this change, they can just
specify 6 events and 200 cgroups plus one more option.
A simpler example below: It wants to measure 3 events for 2 cgroups
('a' and 'b'). The result is that total 6 events are counted like
below.
$ ./perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --multiply-cgroup -G a,b
sleep 1
