From: Zhengjun Xing <zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 8a3d2ee0de3828e0d01f9682d35ee53704659bd0 upstream. The 'perf record' and 'perf stat' commands have supported the option '-C/--cpus' to count or collect only on the list of CPUs provided. Commit 1d3351e631fc34d7 ("perf tools: Enable on a list of CPUs for hybrid") add it to be supported for hybrid. For hybrid support, it checks the cpu list are available on hybrid PMU. But when we test only uncore events(or events not in cpu_core and cpu_atom), there is a bug: Before: # perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1 failed to use cpu list 0 In this case, for uncore event, its pmu_name is not cpu_core or cpu_atom, so in evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus, perf_pmu__find_hybrid_pmu should return NULL,both events_nr and unmatched_count should be 0 ,then the cpu list check function evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus return -1 and the error "failed to use cpu list 0" will happen. Bypass "events_nr=0" case then the issue is fixed. After: # perf stat -C0 -e uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0': 195,476,873 uncore_clock/clockticks/ 1.004518677 seconds time elapsed When testing with at least one core event and uncore events, it has no issue. # perf stat -C0 -e cpu_core/cpu-cycles/,uncore_clock/clockticks/ sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'CPU(s) 0': 5,993,774 cpu_core/cpu-cycles/ 301,025,912 uncore_clock/clockticks/ 1.003964934 seconds time elapsed Fixes: 1d3351e631fc34d7 ("perf tools: Enable on a list of CPUs for hybrid") Reviewed-by: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Zhengjun Xing <zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxx Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jin Yao <yao.jin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220218093127.1844241-1-zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/evlist-hybrid.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/tools/perf/util/evlist-hybrid.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evlist-hybrid.c @@ -153,8 +153,8 @@ int evlist__fix_hybrid_cpus(struct evlis perf_cpu_map__put(matched_cpus); perf_cpu_map__put(unmatched_cpus); } - - ret = (unmatched_count == events_nr) ? -1 : 0; + if (events_nr) + ret = (unmatched_count == events_nr) ? -1 : 0; out: perf_cpu_map__put(cpus); return ret; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from zhengjun.xing@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are queue-5.15/perf-evlist-fix-failed-to-use-cpu-list-for-uncore-events.patch
