I.f. if children should inherit the parent perf_event configuration,
i.e. if we should trace children as well or just the parent.
The default is to follow children, to disable this and have a behaviour
similar to strace, set this config option or use the --no_inherit 'perf
trace' option.
E.g.:
Default:
# perf config trace.no_inherit
# trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
0.000 time/21107 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7f7b8f9ae810) = 21108 (time)
? time/21108 ... [continued]: clone()
0.691 sleep/21108 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffed01d0540, rmtp: 0 ) = 0

#
Disable it:
# trace -e clone,*sleep time sleep 1
0.000 clone(clone_flags: CHILD_CLEARTID|CHILD_SETTID|0x11, newsp: 0, child_tidptr: 0x7ff41e100810) = 21414 (time)

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.
