I just byte the bullet for those (first OS world) issues. If one wants
to trace wake ups, and the wake up of the trace task gets traced, which
causes the trace task to wake up more often, and add more events, then
so be it. I like to see how the tracer affects the system as well. I
noticed that hiding the tracer can make it confusing if one sees gaps
in the trace, where it was the tracer causing it.
