But you could specify all those PIDs in the set_ftrace_pid and set_event_pid files, and they will be traced. If you want to trace the children of those PIDs, you would need to set the options function function-fork and event-fork respectively. And then any time a process with a pid in the set_ftrace_pid or set_event_pid file forks, its child will also be added to that file and it too will be traced. If the fork options are set, then when a task exits, its pid will be removed from the file. echo 1 > options/function-fork echo 1 > options/event-fork > > If we are interested only on the thread running on CPU3 we can do: > > [root@ssdandy ~]# perf report --task > # pid tid ppid comm > 0 0 -1 |swapper > 29064 29064 -1 |cyclictest > 29064 29068 -1 |cyclictest > [root@ssdandy ~]# > > The first 29064 is just to have info on who created 29068, i.e.: > > Its just the synthesized info for 29068 creator: > > [root@ssdandy ~]# perf report -D | grep -w 29064/29064 > 0 0x4690 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_COMM: cyclictest:29064/29064 > 0 0x46c0 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x400000(0xa000) @ 0 fd:00 136246288 0]: r-xp /usr/bin/cyclictest > 0 0x4730 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f990f505000(0x15000) @ 0 fd:00 201479398 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libgcc_s-4.8.5-20150702.so.1 > 0 0x47b0 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f990f71b000(0x1c3000) @ 0 fd:00 201334455 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libc-2.17.so > 0 0x4820 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f990fae9000(0xa000) @ 0 fd:00 204604380 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libnuma.so.1.0.0 > 0 0x4898 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f990fcf5000(0x17000) @ 0 fd:00 201335636 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/libpthread-2.17.so > 0 0x4910 [0x78]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f990ff11000(0x7000) @ 0 fd:00 201335640 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/librt-2.17.so > 0 0x4988 [0x70]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7f9910119000(0x22000) @ 0 fd:00 203595299 0]: r-xp /usr/lib64/ld-2.17.so > 0 0x49f8 [0x60]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0x7fff0b52d000(0x2000) @ 0 00:00 0 0]: r-xp [vdso] > 0 0x4a58 [0x68]: PERF_RECORD_MMAP2 29064/29064: [0xffffffffff600000(0x1000) @ 0 00:00 0 0]: r-xp [vsyscall] > [root@ssdandy ~]# > > No PERF_RECORD_SAMPLEs. > > Those are only for: > > [root@ssdandy ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | head -5 > 147224656598815 0x4ac0 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 29064/29068: 0xffffffffa8e5b568 period: 1 addr: 0 > 147224656606270 0x4ae8 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 29064/29068: 0xffffffffa8e5b568 period: 1 addr: 0 > 147224656611284 0x4b10 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 29064/29068: 0xffffffffa8e5b568 period: 5 addr: 0 > 147224656616225 0x4b38 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 29064/29068: 0xffffffffa8e5b568 period: 35 addr: 0 > 147224656621152 0x4b60 [0x28]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 0x4001): 29064/29068: 0xffffffffa8e5b568 period: 252 addr: 0 > [root@ssdandy ~]# > > [root@ssdandy ~]# perf report -D | grep PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d: -f3 | sort -u > 29064/29068 The above can somewhat be done in trace-cmd, but not fully.
