This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf ftrace: Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand to the 6.3-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-ftrace-make-system-wide-the-default-target-for-.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.3 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0957535a5d90118e392c45a1d78e123ae48c73eb Author: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Mar 24 03:27:02 2023 +0000 perf ftrace: Make system wide the default target for latency subcommand [ Upstream commit ecd4960d908e27e40b63a7046df2f942c148c6f6 ] If no target is specified for 'latency' subcommand, the execution fails because - 1 (invalid value) is written to set_ftrace_pid tracefs file. Make system wide the default target, which is the same as the default behavior of 'trace' subcommand. Before the fix: # perf ftrace latency -T schedule failed to set ftrace pid After the fix: # perf ftrace latency -T schedule ^C# DURATION | COUNT | GRAPH | 0 - 1 us | 0 | | 1 - 2 us | 0 | | 2 - 4 us | 0 | | 4 - 8 us | 2828 | #### | 8 - 16 us | 23953 | ######################################## | 16 - 32 us | 408 | | 32 - 64 us | 318 | | 64 - 128 us | 4 | | 128 - 256 us | 3 | | 256 - 512 us | 0 | | 512 - 1024 us | 1 | | 1 - 2 ms | 4 | | 2 - 4 ms | 0 | | 4 - 8 ms | 0 | | 8 - 16 ms | 0 | | 16 - 32 ms | 0 | | 32 - 64 ms | 0 | | 64 - 128 ms | 0 | | 128 - 256 ms | 4 | | 256 - 512 ms | 2 | | 512 - 1024 ms | 0 | | 1 - ... s | 0 | | Fixes: 53be50282269b46c ("perf ftrace: Add 'latency' subcommand") Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230324032702.109964-1-yangjihong1@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-ftrace.c b/tools/perf/builtin-ftrace.c index d7fe00f66b831..fb1b66ef2e167 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-ftrace.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-ftrace.c @@ -1228,10 +1228,12 @@ int cmd_ftrace(int argc, const char **argv) goto out_delete_filters; } + /* Make system wide (-a) the default target. */ + if (!argc && target__none(&ftrace.target)) + ftrace.target.system_wide = true; + switch (subcmd) { case PERF_FTRACE_TRACE: - if (!argc && target__none(&ftrace.target)) - ftrace.target.system_wide = true; cmd_func = __cmd_ftrace; break; case PERF_FTRACE_LATENCY:
