    perf offcpu: Track child processes · d2347763
    Namhyung Kim authored
    When -p option used or a workload is given, it needs to handle child
    processes.  The perf_event can inherit those task events
    automatically.  We can add a new BPF program in task_newtask
    tracepoint to track child processes.
    
    Before:
      $ sudo perf record --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging
      $ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu
      offcpu-time stats:
                SAMPLE events:        1
    
    After:
      $ sudo perf record -a --off-cpu -- perf bench sched messaging
      $ sudo perf report --stat | grep -A1 offcpu
      offcpu-time stats:
                SAMPLE events:      856
