This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf script: Fix brstackinsn for AUXTRACE to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-script-fix-brstackinsn-for-auxtrace.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit af39d18c623fbb0595eaaf5cab89e27d6b80cf0a Author: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 27 11:53:21 2019 +0200 perf script: Fix brstackinsn for AUXTRACE [ Upstream commit 0cd032d3b5fcebf5454315400ab310746a81ca53 ] brstackinsn must be allowed to be set by the user when AUX area data has been captured because, in that case, the branch stack might be synthesized on the fly. This fixes the following error: Before: $ perf record -e '{intel_pt//,cpu/mem_inst_retired.all_loads,aux-sample-size=8192/pp}:u' grep -rqs jhgjhg /boot [ perf record: Woken up 19 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.274 MB perf.data ] $ perf script -F +brstackinsn --xed --itrace=i1usl100 | head Display of branch stack assembler requested, but non all-branch filter set Hint: run 'perf record -b ...'
