    perf evsel: Set attr.task bit for a tracking event · 62e503b7
    Namhyung Kim authored
    The perf_event_attr.task bit is to track task (fork and exit) events but
    it missed to be set by perf_evsel__config().  While it was not a problem
    in practice since setting other bits (comm/mmap) ended up being in same
    result, it'd be good to set it explicitly anyway.
    
    The attr->task is to track task related events (fork/exit) only but
    other meta events like comm and mmap[2] also needs the task events.  So
    setting attr->comm and/or attr->mmap causes the kernel emits the task
    events anyway.  So the attr->task is only meaningful when other bits are
    off but I'd like to set it for completeness.
