The -G/--cgroups option is to put sender and receiver in different
cgroups in order to measure cgroup context switch overheads.
Users need to make sure the cgroups exist and accessible.

So I tried with:
[root@quaco ~]# 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@quaco ~]#
Should't it bail out when not managing to enter the cgroups?
Also:
[root@quaco ~]# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/AAA
[root@quaco ~]# mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/BBB
[root@quaco ~]#
[root@quaco ~]# perf bench sched pipe -G AAA,BBB

Hmm... I don't know, I've tested it on v1 only ;-p I'll take a look.
Also I found a bug, will fix too.

Oh, actually it should be 'procs' instead of 'progs'.
