From 4e8a5c1551370ebc0fbdb8f5c33dad13e45bdc99 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2019 15:00:10 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Fix max perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection After a discussion with Andi, move the perf_event_attr.precise_ip detection for maximum precise config (via :P modifier or for default cycles event) to perf_evsel__open(). The current detection in perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip() is tricky, because precise_ip config is specific for given event and it currently checks only hw cycles. We now check for valid precise_ip value right after failing sys_perf_event_open() for specific event, before any of the perf_event_attr fallback code gets executed. This way we get the proper config in perf_event_attr together with allowed precise_ip settings. We can see that code activity with -vv, like: $ perf record -vv ls ... ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 ... precise_ip 3 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 9926 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 sys_perf_event_open failed, error -95 decreasing precise_ip by one (2) ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: size 112 { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 ... precise_ip 2 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid 9926 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 4 ...
