If one uses '-v' with 'perf trace', we can see the filter it puts in
place:
New filter for syscalls:sys_enter_prctl: (option==0xf) && (common_pid != 3859 && common_pid != 2757)
We still need to allow using plain '-e prctl' and have this turn into
creating a 'syscalls:sys_enter_prctl' event so that the filter can be
applied only to it as right now '-e prctl' ends up using the
'raw_syscalls:sys_enter/sys_exit'.
The end goal is to have something like:
# perf trace -e prctl/option==SET_NAME/
And have that use tracepoint filters or eBPF ones.

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.
