From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> It counts how often cgroups are changed actually during the context switches. # perf stat -a -e context-switches,cgroup-switches -a sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 11,267 context-switches 10,950 cgroup-switches 1.015634369 seconds time elapsed Committer notes: The kernel patches landed in v5.13, but this entry wasn't filled in perf's parse-events tables, which was leading to a segfault when running 'perf list' on a kernel with that feature, as reported by Thomas Richter. Also removed the part touching tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h as it was updated in the usual sync with the kernel UAPI headers, in a previous, already upstream, patch.
