From: Namhyung Kim namhyung@kernel.org Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2021 21:30:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix --task and --stat with pipe input
Current 'perf report' fails to process a pipe input when --task or --stat options are used. This is because they reset all the tool callbacks and fails to find a matching event for a sample.
When pipe input is used, the event info is passed via ATTR records so it needs to handle that operation. Otherwise the following error occurs. Note, -14 (= -EFAULT) comes from evlist__parse_sample():
# perf record -a -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat Can't parse sample, err = -14 0x271044 [0x38]: failed to process type: 9 Error: failed to process sample #
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat Can't parse sample, err = -14 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] 0x1350 [0x30]: failed to process type: 9 Error: failed to process sample [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ] $
After:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
Aggregated stats: TOTAL events: 41 COMM events: 2 ( 4.9%) EXIT events: 1 ( 2.4%) SAMPLE events: 9 (22.0%) MMAP2 events: 4 ( 9.8%) ATTR events: 1 ( 2.4%) FINISHED_ROUND events: 1 ( 2.4%) THREAD_MAP events: 1 ( 2.4%) CPU_MAP events: 1 ( 2.4%) EVENT_UPDATE events: 1 ( 2.4%) TIME_CONV events: 1 ( 2.4%) FEATURE events: 19 (46.3%) cycles:uhH stats: SAMPLE events: 9 $
