It was mentioned in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1434502
that once online profiling is implemented, this issue will go away.

I am wondering if a bug needs to be filed for the kernel because there is nothing to indicate that the memory is being used for tracing memory. Using tools like ps just shows that memory isn't being accounted for.
