From: Jiri Olsa jolsa@kernel.org Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2020 22:11:35 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf python scripting: Fix printable strings in python3 scripts
Hagen reported broken strings in python3 tracepoint scripts:
make PYTHON=python3 perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a -- sleep 5 perf script --gen-script py perf script -s ./perf-script.py
[..] sched__sched_switch 7 563231.759525792 0 swapper prev_comm=bytearray(b'swapper/7\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00'), prev_pid=0, prev_prio=120, prev_state=, next_comm=bytearray(b'mutex-thread-co\x00'),
The problem is in the is_printable_array function that does not take the zero byte into account and claim such string as not printable, so the code will create byte array instead of string.
Committer testing:
