From 2b26f0aa004995f49f7b6f4100dd0e4c39a9ed5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Marco Elver Date: Thu, 8 Apr 2021 12:35:58 +0200 Subject: perf: Support only inheriting events if cloned with CLONE_THREAD Adds bit perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, to restricting inheriting events only if the child was cloned with CLONE_THREAD. This option supports the case where an event is supposed to be process-wide only (including subthreads), but should not propagate beyond the current process's shared environment.
