You could also do it by keeping the -G option and providing
--for-each-cgroup as a modifier
of the behavior of -G:
$ ./perf stat -a -e cpu-clock,cycles,instructions --for-each-cgroup -G
A,B sleep 1
That way, you do not have to handle the case where both are used.
And it makes transitioning to the new style simpler, i.e., the -G
option remains, just need
to trim the number of cgroups to 200 in your example.
Just a suggestion.
