Subject: [PATCH 4.14 138/183] perf evsel: Fix period/freq terms setup

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@...nel.org>


[ Upstream commit 49c0ae80eb32426fa133246200628e529067c595 ]

Stephane reported that we don't set properly PERIOD sample type for
events with period term defined.

Before:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, ...

After:
  $ perf record -e cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u ls
  $ perf evlist -v
  cpu/cpu-cycles,period=1000/u: ... sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, ...

Setting PERIOD sample type based on period term setup.

Committer note:

When we use -c or a period=N term in the event definition, then we don't
need to ask the kernel, for this event, via perf_event_attr.sample_type
|= PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, to put the event period in each sample for this
event, as we know it already, it is in perf_event_attr.sample_period.
