When a filter is provided before an input file, consider it globally applying to all traces: i.e., the following will trace kernel_stack out of both traces instead of only the first: $ trace-cmd report -v -F kernel_stack -i trace1.dat -i trace2.dat Filter order matters due to the order of processing. Always process global filters first, which are likely more generic.
