    perf trace: Print thread info when following children · 42052bea

    The default for 'trace workload' is to set perf_event_attr.inherit to 1,
    i.e. to make it equivalent to 'strace -f workload', so we were ending
    with syscalls for multiple processes mixed up, fix it:
    
    Before:
    
      [root@ssdandy ~]# trace -e brk time usleep 1
         0.071 ( 0.002 ms): brk(              ) = 0x100e000
         0.802 ( 0.001 ms): brk(              ) = 0x1d99000
         1.132 ( 0.003 ms): brk(              ) = 0x1d99000
         1.136 ( 0.003 ms): brk(brk: 0x1dba000) = 0x1dba000
         1.140 ( 0.001 ms): brk(              ) = 0x1dba000
      0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 63%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 528maxresident)k
      0inputs+0outputs (0major+181minor)pagefaults 0swaps
      [root@ssdandy ~]#
    
    After:
    
      [root@ssdandy ~]# trace -f -e brk time usleep 1
         0.072 ( 0.002 ms): time/26308 brk(               ) = 0x1e6e000
         0.860 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xb91000
         1.193 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xb91000
         1.197 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk(brk: 0xbb2000) = 0xbb2000
         1.201 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk(             ) = 0xbb2000
      0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 524maxresident)k
      0inputs+0outputs (0major+180minor)pagefaults 0swaps
      [root@ssdandy ~]#
    
    BTW: to achieve the 'strace workload' behaviour, i.e. without a explicit
    '-f', one has to use --no-inherit.
