If you download and install the latest trace-cmd, you may be able to
get more information with its new command "profile".
# trace-cmd profile -o file workload
Then look at the output in file.
To limit the running to tracing only the workload:
# trace-cmd profile -o file -F -c workload
You'll need to use the latest that's in my repo. Use the master branch,
as it has all the above features.
