Subject: [PATCH 5.19 044/207] libperf evlist: Fix polling of system-wide events
From: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@...el.com>
commit 6cc447964555df209c590756bd804d3bb9ce1fe0 upstream.
Originally, (refer commit f90d194a867a5a1d ("perf evlist: Do not poll
events that use the system_wide flag") there wasn't much reason to poll
system-wide events because:
1. The mmaps get "merged" via set-output anyway (the per-cpu case)
2. perf reads all mmaps when any event is woken
3. system-wide mmaps do not fill up as fast as the mmaps for user
selected events
But there was 1 reason not to poll which was that it prevented correct
termination due to POLLHUP on all user selected events. That issue is
now easily resolved by using fdarray_flag__nonfilterable.
With the advent of commit ae4f8ae16a078964 ("libperf evlist: Allow
mixing per-thread and per-cpu mmaps"), system-wide mmaps can be used
also in the per-thread case where reason 1 does not apply.
Fix the omission of system-wide events from polling by using the
fdarray_flag__nonfilterable flag.
Example:
Before:
$ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv -e intel_pt// --per-thread uname 2>err.txt
Linux
$ grep 'sys_perf_event_open.*=\|pollfd' err.txt
sys_perf_event_open: pid 155076 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
sys_perf_event_open: pid 155076 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 7
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 9
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 10
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 11
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 12

sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 14
sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 7 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 15
thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[0] <- event_fd=5
thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[1] <- event_fd=6
thread_data[0x55fb43c29e80]: pollfd[2] <- non_perf_event fd=4
After:
$ perf record --no-bpf-event -vvv -e intel_pt// --per-thread uname 2>err.txt
Linux
$ grep 'sys_perf_event_open.*=\|pollfd' err.txt
sys_perf_event_open: pid 156316 cpu -1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5
