Subject: [PATCH v8 0/6] perf record: Track sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs
User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, track sideband events for all
CPUs.
The specific scenarios are as follows:
CPU0 CPU1
perf record -C 0 start
taskA starts to be created and executed
-> PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP
events only deliver to CPU1
......
|
migrate to CPU0
|
Running on CPU0 <----------/
...
perf record -C 0 stop
Now perf samples the PC of taskA. However, perf does not record the
PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_COMM events of taskA.
Therefore, the comm and symbols of taskA cannot be parsed.
The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows:
# perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -C 1 true
<SNIP>
Opening: cpu-clock

perf_event_attr:

Changes since_v7:
- The condition for requiring system_wide sideband is changed to
"as long as a non-dummy event exists" (patch4).
- Modify the corresponding test case to record only dummy event (patch6).
- Thanks to tested-by tag from Ravi, but because the solution is modified,
the tested-by tag of Ravi is not added to this version.
Changes since_v6:
- Patch1:
1. No change.
2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
- Patch2:
1. Update commit message as suggested by Ian.
2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian because code is not modified.
- Patch3:
1. Update comment as suggested by Ian.
2. Merge original patch5 ("perf test: Update base-record & system-wide-dummy attr") as suggested by Ian.
3. Only merge commit, keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
- Patch4:
1. No change. Because Adrian recommends not changing the function name.
2. Keep Acked-by tag from Adrian.
- Patch5:
1. Add cleanup on trap function as suggested by Ian.
2. Remove Tested-by tag from Adrian because the script is modified.
- Patch6:
1. Add Reviewed-by tag from Ian.
Changes since_v5:
- No code changes.
- Detailed commit message of patch3.
- Add Acked-by and Tested-by tags from Adrian Hunter.
Changes since_v4:
- Simplify check code for record__tracking_system_wide().
- Add perf attr test result to commit message for patch 7.
Changes since_v3:
- Check fall_kernel, all_user, and dummy or exclude_user when determining
whether system wide is required.
Changes since_v2:
- Rename record_tracking.sh to record_sideband.sh in tools/perf/tests/shell.
- Remove "perf evlist: Skip dummy event sample_type check for evlist_config" patch.
- Add opts->all_kernel check in record__config_tracking_events().
- Add perf_event_attr test for record selected CPUs exclude_user.
- Update base-record & system-wide-dummy sample_type attr expected values for test-record-C0.
Changes since v1:
- Add perf_evlist__go_system_wide() via internal/evlist.h instead of
exporting perf_evlist__propagate_maps().
- Use evlist__add_aux_dummy() instead of evlist__add_dummy() in
evlist__findnew_tracking_event().
- Add a parameter in evlist__findnew_tracking_event() to deal with
system_wide inside.
- Add sideband for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs comments on
the perf record man page.
- Use "sideband events" instead of "tracking events".
- Adjust the patches Sequence.
- Add patch5 to skip dummy event sample_type check for evlist_config.
- Add patch6 to update system-wide-dummy attr values for perf test.
