Subject: [PATCH] perf trace: Handle task exit in BPF syscall summary
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 17:49:55 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226014955.801293-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

Some system calls never return because it'd terminate the calling
thread.  Let's hook the task exit path and update the duration of the
last syscall.

Before:
  $ sudo perf trace -as --bpf-summary -- true |& grep exit
  (nothing)

After:
  $ sudo perf trace -as --bpf-summary -- true |& grep exit
     exit_group             1      0     0.004     0.004     0.004     0.004      0.00%
