cool, so its possible to have the same sort of behaviour one expects
using --pid or --tid and --inherit with perf record/trace/top/etc
Its just some confusion about what perf understands by --pid and --tid
and the jargon used by ftrace, we can make 'perf ftrace' use the knobs
you mentioned and achieve the expected results as with other perf
subcommands, good.

Changbin, you can take from here :-)
And to reiterate, for me the value of 'perf ftrace' is to allow people
used to perf to be able to switch to ftrace quickly, just changing:
perf record/top/stat/trace/report/script/etc --pid 1234
by:
perf ftrace --pid 1234
And have the tracefs ftrace knobs set up to have what is expected in
terms of targets to trace as the other perf tools.
And not just --pid and --tid, but --cgroup, --cpu, etc.
i.e., 'perf ftrace' being _a_ front-end aplication to ftrace.
