[ Upstream commit 49c0ae80eb32426fa133246200628e529067c595 ]
Stephane reported that we don't set properly PERIOD sample type for events with period term defined.
Before: $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls $ perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, ...
After: $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls $ perf evlist -v cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, ...
Setting PERIOD sample type based on period term setup.
Committer note:
When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, to put the event period in each sample for this event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.
