'disable' doesn't seem to be working:

Terminal 3:

[root@...e ~]# echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'enable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable sched:sched_process_fork' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'enable' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable' > control
[root@...e ~]# echo 'disable' > control
[root@...e ~]#

Terminal 1:

[root@...e ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork disabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork disabled
Events enabled

I tried also with '-o -', made no difference and:

[root@...e ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork enabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork disabled
Event sched:sched_process_fork disabled

The second probably should be more clear stating that that event was
already disabled.

Probably your example with all the sched tracepoints make 'perf record'
just process the stream of events and not look at the commands?

If I try with:

[root@...e ~]# perf list sched:sched_process_* 2> /dev/null

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e):

  sched:sched_process_exec                           [Tracepoint event]
  sched:sched_process_exit                           [Tracepoint event]
  sched:sched_process_fork                           [Tracepoint event]
  sched:sched_process_free                           [Tracepoint event]
  sched:sched_process_wait                           [Tracepoint event]

[root@...e ~]#

[root@...e ~]# perf record --control=fifo:control,ack -D -1 --no-buffering -e 'sched:sched_process_*' -o - > perf.pipe
Events disabled
Events enabled
Events disabled

It works.

So it is a pre-existing problem, I'll continue processing your patches
and make a note about this...
