sched: Deliver sched_switch events to the current task
Otherwise they can't be filtered for a defined task: perf record -e sched:sched_switch ./foo This command doesn't report any events without this patch. I think it isn't a security concern if someone knows who will be executed next - this can already be observed by polling /proc state. By default perf is disabled for non-root users in any case. I need these events for profiling sleep times. sched_switch is used for getting callchains and sched_stat_* is used for getting time periods. These events are combined in user space, then it can be analyzed by perf tools.
