From e646fe730a324098a718f1c9b2f349efb99d5457 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Thu, 29 May 2014 13:44:55 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf script/python: Print array argument as string With the Sebastian's change of handling num array argument (of raw syscall enter), the script still failed to work like this: $ perf record -e raw_syscalls:* sleep 1 $ perf script -g python $ perf script -s perf-script.py ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "perf-script.py", line 42, in raw_syscalls__sys_enter (id, args), TypeError: %u format: a number is required, not list Fatal Python error: problem in Python trace event handler Aborted (core dumped) This is because the generated script tries to print the array arg as unsigned integer (%u). Since the python seems to convert arguments to strings by default, just using %s solved the problem for me.
