Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo dffdcbdbb0 perf record: Generate PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} with --delay
When we use an initial delay, e.g.: 'perf record --delay 1000', we do not
enable the events until that delay has passed after we started the workload,
including the tracking event, i.e. the one for which we have attr.mmap, etc,
enabled to ask the kernel to generate the PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} metadata
events that will then allow us to resolve addresses in samples to the map, dso
and symbol. There will be a shadow that even synthesizing samples won't cover,
i.e. the workload that we start and other processes forking while we
wait for the initial delay to expire.

So use a dummy event to be the tracking one and make it be enabled on exec.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
