From 9f498cc5be7e013d8d6e4c616980ed0ffc8680d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Zijlstra Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 14:46:33 +0200 Subject: perf_counter: Full task tracing In order to be able to distinguish between no samples due to inactivity and no samples due to task ended, Arjan asked for PERF_EVENT_EXIT events. This is useful to the boot delay instrumentation (bootchart) app. This patch changes the PERF_EVENT_FORK to be emitted on every clone, and adds PERF_EVENT_EXIT to be emitted on task exit, after the task's counters have been closed. This task tracing is controlled through: attr.comm || attr.mmap and through the new attr.task field.
