Subject: Re: [PATCH 2/4] perf annotate: Avoid division by zero when
calculating percent
And,
I tested by perf-stat on the same situation as below.
$ perf stat -e "{cycles,page-faults,branch-misses}" ./old <input.txt
6623856
Performance counter stats for './old':
472,007,763 cycles (99.85%)
71 page-faults (99.85%)
220,073 branch-misses (99.85%)
0.170768608 seconds time elapsed
Many times, the number of samples 'page-faults' was 68 ~ 71.
In spite of it, how did the below 'h->sum' is zero..
util/annotate.c:1660~1661
1660 h = annotation__histogram(notes, evidx + k);
1661 src_line->samples[k].percent = 100.0 * h->addr[i] / h->sum;
This patch just add if statement 'if (h->sum)' to handle the case
that h->sum is zero. But now I wonder how h->sum could be zero..
I'll dig the problem to find the root cause of it, too !
Thanks,
Taeung
