When runs in perf mode, the driver always enables the PID tracing. This
can lead confusion when the profiling session runs in non-root PID
namespace, whereas it records the PIDs from the root PID namespace.
To avoid confusion for PID tracing, when runs in perf mode, this patch
changes to only enable PID tracing for root PID namespace.
As result, after apply this patch, the perf tool reports PID as '-1' for
all samples:
# unshare --fork --pid perf record -e cs_etm// -m 64K,64K -a \
-o perf_test.data -- uname
# perf report -i perf_test.data --itrace=Zi1000i --stdio
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 94 of event 'instructions'
# Event count (approx.): 94000

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.
