So I tried with:

[root@...co ~]# perf bench sched pipe -G system.slice,user.slice
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
cannot enter to cgroup: system.slice
cannot enter to cgroup: user.slice
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

     Total time: 6.301 [sec]

       6.301478 usecs/op
         158692 ops/sec
[root@...co ~]#

Should't it bail out when not managing to enter the cgroups?

Also:

[root@...co ~]# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/AAA
[root@...co ~]# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/BBB
[root@...co ~]#
[root@...co ~]# perf bench sched pipe -G AAA,BBB
# Running 'sched/pipe' benchmark:
cannot enter to cgroup: AAA
cannot enter to cgroup: BBB
# Executed 1000000 pipe operations between two processes

     Total time: 6.397 [sec]

       6.397830 usecs/op
         156302 ops/sec
[root@...co ~]#

I'm certainly missing something here :-\
