From ed900c054b541254f0ce5cedaf75206e29bd614e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 15:44:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf_counter: Log vfork as a fork event Right now we don't output vfork events. Even though we should always see an exec after a vfork, we may get perfcounter samples between the vfork and exec. These samples can lead to some confusion when parsing perfcounter data. To keep things consistent we should always log a fork event. It will result in a little more log data, but is less confusing to trace parsing tools.
