When tracing in X we get event loops due to the tracing activity, i.e. updates to a gnome-terminal that generate syscalls for X.org, etc. To get a more useful view of what is happening, syscall wise, system wide, we need to filter those, like in: # ps ax|egrep '981|2296|1519' | grep -v egrep 981 tty1 Ss+ 5:40 /usr/bin/Xorg :0 -background none ... 1519 ? Sl 2:22 /usr/bin/gnome-shell 2296 ? Sl 4:16 /usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server # # trace -e write --filter-pids 981,2296,1519 0.385 ( 0.021 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136 0.922 ( 0.014 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140 5006.525 ( 0.029 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 136) = 136 5007.235 ( 0.023 ms): goa-daemon/2061 write(fd: 1</dev/null>, buf: 0x7fbeb017b000, count: 140) = 140 5177.646 ( 0.018 ms): rtkit-daemon/782 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7f7eea70be88, count: 8) = 8 8314.497 ( 0.004 ms): gsd-locate-poi/2084 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffe96af7b0, count: 8) = 8 8314.518 ( 0.002 ms): gsd-locate-poi/2084 write(fd: 5<anon_inode:[eventfd]>, buf: 0x7fffe96af0e0, count: 8) = 8 ^C# When this option is used the tracer pid is also filtered.
