[PATCH v4 0/4] perf: add new option '--workload-attr' to set workload sched_policy/priority/cpumask

[Changbin Du]

This adds a new option '--workload-attr' to set the sched_policy/priority/cpumask
of the workload to reduce system noise.

$ sudo perf stat --workload-attr fifo,40,0-3:7 -- ls

Please see patch 2/4 for more details.

v4:
  - add a test case for perf-stat. (suggeted by Ian Rogers)
  - fix warning found by 0-DAY.
v3:
  - replace taskset with --workload-attr option in documents and tests.
v2:
  - Use cpu list spec instead of cpu mask number.
  - Update documents.

Changbin Du (4):
  perf cpumap: Add __perf_cpu_map__new and perf_cpu_map__2_cpuset
  perf: add new option '--workload-attr' to set workload
    sched_policy/priority/cpumask
  perf: replace taskset with --workload-attr option
  perf test: add test case for --workload-attr option
