Now that 'perf trace' fills in that "filtered_pids" BPF map, remove the
set of filtered pids used as an example to test that feature.
That feature works like this:
Starting a system wide 'strace' like 'perf trace' augmented session we
noticed that lots of events take place for a pid, which ends up being
the feedback loop of perf trace's syscalls being processed by the
'gnome-terminal' process:
# perf trace -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c
0.391 ( 0.002 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f750bc, count: 8176) = 453
0.394 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
0.438 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 4<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffc696aeb0, count: 16) = 8
0.519 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f75280, count: 7724) = 114
0.522 ( 0.001 ms): gnome-terminal/2469 read(fd: 17</dev/ptmx>, buf: 0x564b79f752f1, count: 7611) = -1 EAGAIN Resource temporarily unavailable
^C
So we can use --filter-pids to get rid of that one, and in this case what is
being used to implement that functionality is that "filtered_pids" BPF map that
the tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c created and that 'perf trace'
bpf loader noticed and created a "struct bpf_map" associated that then got populated
by 'perf trace':
# perf trace --filter-pids 2469 -e tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.c

^C
Oops, yet another gnome process that is involved with the output that
'perf trace' generates, lets filter that out too:

Several syscall exit events for syscalls in flight when 'perf trace' started, etc. Saner :-)

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.
