From bedbfdea31daf3880745001d56450c683959ee7e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric B Munson Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:46:57 -0300 Subject: perf record: Enable the enable_on_exec flag if record forks the target When forking its target, perf record can capture data from before the target application is started. Perf stat uses the enable_on_exec flag in the event attributes to keep from displaying events from before the target program starts, this patch adds the same functionality to perf record when it is will fork the target process.
