Shaohua Li ca1136c99b blktrace: export cgroup info in trace
Currently blktrace isn't cgroup aware. blktrace prints out task name of
current context, but the task of current context isn't always in the
cgroup where the BIO comes from. We can't use task name to find out IO
cgroup. For example, Writeback BIOs always comes from flusher thread but
the BIOs are for different blk cgroups. Request could be requeued and
dispatched from completely different tasks. MD/DM are another examples.

This patch tries to fix the gap. We print out cgroup fhandle info in
blktrace. Userspace can use open_by_handle_at() syscall to find the
cgroup by fhandle. Or userspace can use name_to_handle_at() syscall to
find fhandle for a cgroup and use a BPF program to filter out blktrace
for a specific cgroup.

We add a new 'blk_cgroup' trace option for blk tracer. It's default off.
Application which doesn't know the new option isn't affected.  When it's
on, we output fhandle info right after blk_io_trace with an extra bit
set in event action. So from application point of view, blktrace with
the option will output new actions.

I didn't change blk trace event yet, since I'm not sure if changing the
trace event output is an ABI issue. If not, I'll do it later.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
