[PATCH 11/12] perf trace: Write to stderr by default

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Aug 05 2015 - 16:18:25 EST


From: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@xxxxxxxx>

Without this patch, it is cumbersome to read the trace output but
ignoring the normal, potentially verbose, output of the debuggee. One
common example is doing something like the following:

perf trace -s find /tmp > /dev/null

Without this patch, the trace summary will be lost. Now, it will still
be printed at the end. This behavior is also applied by strace.
