perf report: Fix --task and --stat with pipe input
[ Upstream commit 892ba7f18621a02af4428c58d97451f64685dba4 ]
Current 'perf report' fails to process a pipe input when --task or
--stat options are used. This is because they reset all the tool
callbacks and fails to find a matching event for a sample.
When pipe input is used, the event info is passed via ATTR records so it
needs to handle that operation. Otherwise the following error occurs.
Note, -14 (= -EFAULT) comes from evlist__parse_sample():
# perf record -a -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
Can't parse sample, err = -14
0x271044 [0x38]: failed to process type: 9
Error:
failed to process sample
#
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
Can't parse sample, err = -14
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1350 [0x30]: failed to process type: 9
Error:
failed to process sample
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
$
After:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
Aggregated stats:
TOTAL events: 41
COMM events: 2 ( 4.9%)
EXIT events: 1 ( 2.4%)
SAMPLE events: 9 (22.0%)
