Currently tgid_map is sized at PID_MAX_DEFAULT entries, which means that
on systems where pid_max is configured higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT the
ftrace record-tgid option doesn't work so well. Any tasks with PIDs
higher than PID_MAX_DEFAULT are simply not recorded in tgid_map, and
don't show up in the saved_tgids file.
In particular since systemd v243 & above configure pid_max to its
highest possible 1<<22 value by default on 64 bit systems this renders
the record-tgids option of little use.
Increase the size of tgid_map to the configured pid_max instead,
allowing it to cover the full range of PIDs up to the maximum value of
PID_MAX_LIMIT if the system is configured that way.
On 64 bit systems with pid_max == PID_MAX_LIMIT this will increase the
size of tgid_map from 256KiB to 16MiB. Whilst this 64x increase in
memory overhead sounds significant 64 bit systems are presumably best
placed to accommodate it, and since tgid_map is only allocated when the
record-tgid option is actually used presumably the user would rather it
spends sufficient memory to actually record the tgids they expect.
The size of tgid_map could also increase for CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=y
configurations, but these seem unlikely to be systems upon which people
are both configuring a large pid_max and running ftrace with record-tgid
anyway.
Of note is that we only allocate tgid_map once, the first time that the
record-tgid option is enabled. Therefore its size is only set once, to
the value of pid_max at the time the record-tgid option is first
enabled. If a user increases pid_max after that point, the saved_tgids
file will not contain entries for any tasks with pids beyond the earlier
value of pid_max.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
