perf trace: Filter out 'sshd' in the tracer ancestry in syswide tracing
Avoiding a loop, so now its quite convenient to ssh to a machine and then simply do: # perf trace To trace all syscalls without causing a loop. This was possible using --filter-pids, i.e. once you noticed the loop, get the sshd pid and add it to --filter-pids, restarting the 'perf trace'. Now to figure out how to do that in a X terminal, the other common scenario, which is way more involved, as there are multiple processes communicating to process terminal activity... Using --filter-pids + '-e \!syscall,names,you,dont,need' may be a good approximation when having to do syswide tracing on your workstation.
