Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently apps define their perfid when using the performance logging framework, but there's no mechanism currently to ensure that the perfid is unique to that application and could result in confused perf logs.
Describe the solution you'd like
One option would be to use the appid generated when the application is registered (but will need to be reported somehow so that a performance analysis tool can crosswalk from runtime-generated perfid's to the applications.)
Describe alternatives you've considered
Three alternatives: 1) a separate perfid registry/table in memory, 2) some sort of compile-time tool to generate ID's, 3) a textual identifier (that can be "namespaced".)

Research direction
The issue does not name implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the performance logging framework and application-registration code, then determine how runtime perfid values are generated and reported. Done should include a decided uniqueness mechanism and a way for analysis tools to crosswalk perfids to applications.
