[PATCH 1/5] tools/rv: Do not skip idle in trace

From: Gabriele Monaco
Date: Wed Jul 23 2025 - 12:13:22 EST


Currently, the userspace RV tool skips trace events triggered by the RV
tool itself, this can be changed by passing the parameter -s, which sets
the variable config_my_pid to 0 (instead of the tool's PID).
This has the side effect of skipping events generated by idle (PID 0).

Set config_my_pid to -1 (an invalid pid) to avoid skipping idle.

Fixes: 6d60f89691fc ("tools/rv: Add in-kernel monitor interface")
