From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <a...@redhat.com> We were doing this only at the sys_exit syscall tracepoint, as for strace-like we count the pair of sys_enter and sys_exit as one event, but when asking specifically for a the syscalls:sys_enter_NAME tracepoint we need to count each of those as an event.
I.e. things like: # perf trace --max-events=4 -e syscalls:sys_enter_lseek 0.000 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 14<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR) 0.034 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 15<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR) 0.051 pool/2242 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 16<anon_inode:[timerfd]>, offset: 0, whence: CUR) 2307.900 sshd/30800 syscalls:sys_enter_lseek(fd: 3</usr/lib64/libsystemd.so.0.25.0>, offset: 9032, whence: SET) # Were going on forever, since we only had sys_enter events.
