Hi Arnaldo: As I mentioned on IRC perf-trace fails on older kernels -- like RHEL6. This set of patches makes it at least usable - though still some problems I am hoping you can fix.
Build perf with these patches and run: perf trace -- dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/zero bs=4096 count=16 you see something like this which is just wrong: 3.684 ( 0.007 ms): write(buf: 2, count: 140737077958816 ) = 27 there is no fd (should be 1 for the write) and all the values are wrong. Perhaps it is an artifact of the older way of doing system call tracing, but I see something goofy with the 3.12 kernel as well: 5.633 ( 0.004 ms): write(fd: 2, buf: 0x7fff9177fee0, count: 24 ) = 24 According to strace that should be a return of 4096.
