5.4 PID filtering
|
||||
-----------------
|
||||
|
||||
The set_event_pid file in the same directory as the top events directory
|
||||
exists, will filter all events from tracing any task that does not have the
|
||||
PID listed in the set_event_pid file.
|
||||
|
||||
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/tracing
|
||||
# echo $$ > set_event_pid
|
||||
# echo 1 > events/enabled
|
||||
|
||||
Will only trace events for the current task.
|
||||
|
||||
To add more PIDs without losing the PIDs already included, use '>>'.
|
||||
|
||||
# echo 123 244 1 >> set_event_pid
