From bf1976dd28b4ec611d4f0bf5b0de40b1dd21b253 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Rogers Date: Wed, 4 Jun 2025 10:45:41 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf trace: Switch user option to use BPF filter Finding user processes by scanning /proc is inherently racy and results in perf_event_open failures. Use a BPF filter to drop samples where the uid doesn't match. Ensure adding the BPF filter forces system-wide.
