E.g.: The default for root: # perf record usleep 1 # perf evlist -v cycles:ppp: ..., precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 0, ... # And for !root: $ perf record usleep 1 $ perf evlist -v cycles:uppp: ... , precise_ip: 3, exclude_kernel: 1, ... $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-lf29zcdl422i9knrgde0uwy3@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c index f2a1876..413f74d 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c @@ -298,8 +298,10 @@ struct perf_evsel *perf_evsel__new_cycles(void) goto out; /* use asprintf() because free(evsel) assumes name is allocated */ - if (asprintf(&evsel->name, "cycles%.*s", - attr.precise_ip ? attr.precise_ip + 1 : 0, ":ppp") < 0) + if (asprintf(&evsel->name, "cycles%s%s%.*s", + (attr.precise_ip || attr.exclude_kernel) ?
