No need to create cgroup and confine processes to that cgroup. The below
check during event filtering will take care:
+ if (cpuctx->perf_ns != event->perf_ns)
+ return false;
event->perf_ns is set during perf_event_alloc():
+ if (current->nsproxy->perf_ns != &init_perf_ns) {
+ /*
+ * If we are called from our own perf namespace, set
+ * event->perf_ns
+ */
+ event->perf_ns = current->nsproxy->perf_ns;
+ [...]
+ }
