perf evsel: Create events initially disabled -- again
764e16a3 changed perf-record to create events disabled by default and enable them once perf initializations are done. This setting was dropped by 0f82ebc4 . Now perf events are once again generated during perf's initialization phase (e.g., generating maps). As an example, perf opens a lot of files at startup. Unpatched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.087 MB /tmp/perf.data (~3798 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples shows the perf command generating 563 of the 566 total events. Patched: perf record -e syscalls:sys_enter_open -ga -fo /tmp/perf.data -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.028 MB /tmp/perf.data (~1206 samples) ] Using perf-script to look at the samples does not show perf command.
