Subject: [PATCH v4 06/10] perf top: Switch user option to use BPF filter
Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2025 10:45:40 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250604174545.2853620-7-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250604174545.2853620-1-irogers@google.com>
Finding user processes by scanning /proc is inherently racy and
results in perf_event_open failures. Use a BPF filter to drop samples
where the uid doesn't match.
