I completely misread the description of this, or I would have something
earlier.  For some reason I thought he was talking about the perf
controller.

As I recall the tricky part of this was to have tracing that was safe
and usable inside of a container.  If you can align a per cgroup with
your container that is probably sufficient for the select of processes.

At the same time there is a real desire to have identifiers like pids
translated into the appropriate form for inside of the container.
Without that translation they are meaningless inside a container.
Further it is necessary to be certain the trancing that is used is is
safe for unprivileged users.

I don't think I ever suggested or approved of the concept of a perf
namespace and that sounds a bit dubious to me.
