From 1929def9e609d1a8cdb1626d85eda3da66921a7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Fri, 12 Sep 2014 13:18:27 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix child event initial state setup Currently we initialize the child event based on the original parent state. This is wrong, because the original parent event (and its state) is not related to current fork and also could be already gone. We need to initialize the child state based on the immediate parent event state.
