Subject: [for-next][PATCH 13/16] rtla: Fix -C/--cgroup interface
From: Ivan Pravdin <ipravdin.official@...il.com>
Currently, user can only specify cgroup to the tracer's thread the
following ways:
`-C[cgroup]`
`-C[=cgroup]`
`--cgroup[=cgroup]`
If user tries to specify cgroup as `-C [cgroup]` or `--cgroup [cgroup]`,
the parser silently fails and rtla's cgroup is used for the tracer
threads.
To make interface more user-friendly, allow user to specify cgroup in
the aforementioned way, i.e. `-C [cgroup]` and `--cgroup [cgroup]`.
Refactor identical logic between -t/--trace and -C/--cgroup into a
common function.
Change documentation to reflect this user interface change.
Fixes: a957cbc02531 ("rtla: Add -C cgroup support")

Set a *cgroup* to the tracer's threads. If the **-C** option is passed without arguments, the tracer's thread will inherit **rtla**'s *cgroup*. Otherwise, the threads will be placed on the *cgroup* passed to the option.
