From 61c32659b12c44e62de32fbf99f7e4ca783dc38b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 01:39:17 +0100 Subject: tracing: New flag to allow non privileged users to use a trace event This adds a new trace event internal flag that allows them to be used in perf by non privileged users in case of task bound tracing. This is desired for syscalls tracepoint because they don't leak global system informations, like some other tracepoints.
