[PATCH 40/43] perf trace: Print thread info when following children

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The default for 'trace workload' is to set perf_event_attr.inherit to 1,
i.e. to make it equivalent to 'strace -f workload', so we were ending
with syscalls for multiple processes mixed up, fix it:

Before:

[root@ssdandy ~]# trace -e brk time usleep 1
0.071 ( 0.002 ms): brk( ) = 0x100e000
0.802 ( 0.001 ms): brk( ) = 0x1d99000
1.132 ( 0.003 ms): brk( ) = 0x1d99000
1.136 ( 0.003 ms): brk(brk: 0x1dba000) = 0x1dba000
1.140 ( 0.001 ms): brk( ) = 0x1dba000
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 63%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 528maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+181minor)pagefaults 0swaps
[root@ssdandy ~]#

After:

[root@ssdandy ~]# trace -f -e brk time usleep 1
0.072 ( 0.002 ms): time/26308 brk( ) = 0x1e6e000
0.860 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk( ) = 0xb91000
1.193 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk( ) = 0xb91000
1.197 ( 0.003 ms): usleep/26309 brk(brk: 0xbb2000) = 0xbb2000
1.201 ( 0.001 ms): usleep/26309 brk( ) = 0xbb2000
0.00user 0.00system 0:00.00elapsed 0%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 524maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (0major+180minor)pagefaults 0swaps
[root@ssdandy ~]#

BTW: to achieve the 'strace workload' behaviour, i.e. without a explicit
'-f', one has to use --no-inherit.
