From: Ian Munsie <imunsie(a)au1.ibm.com> At exit, perf record will kill the process it was profiling by sending a SIGTERM to child_pid (if it had been initialised), but in certain situations child_pid may be 0 and perf would mistakenly kill more processes than intended. child_pid is set to the return of fork() t... 9 Jun 2010 05:20
