This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf report: Fix --total-cycles --stdio output error to the 6.10-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-report-fix-total-cycles-stdio-output-error.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 4fb4891ba7a9d2f9f52a10fc8a33947552aedb90 Author: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue Aug 13 09:02:00 2024 -0700 perf report: Fix --total-cycles --stdio output error [ Upstream commit 3ef44458071a19e5b5832cdfe6f75273aa521b6e ] The --total-cycles may output wrong information with the --stdio. For example: # perf record -e "{cycles,instructions}",cache-misses -b sleep 1 # perf report --total-cycles --stdio The total cycles output of {cycles,instructions} and cache-misses are almost the same. # Samples: 938 of events 'anon group { cycles, instructions }' # Event count (approx.): 938 # # Sampled Cycles% Sampled Cycles Avg Cycles% Avg Cycles [Program Block Range] # ............... .............. ........... .......... ..................................................> # 11.19% 2.6K 0.10% 21 [perf_iterate_ctx+48 -> > 5.79% 1.4K 0.45% 97 [__intel_pmu_enable_all.constprop.0+80 -> __intel_> 5.11% 1.2K 0.33% 71 [native_write_msr+0 ->> # Samples: 293 of event 'cache-misses' # Event count (approx.): 293 # # Sampled Cycles% Sampled Cycles Avg Cycles% Avg Cycles [Program Block Range] # ............... .............. ........... .......... ..................................................> # 11.19% 2.6K 0.13% 21 [perf_iterate_ctx+48 -> > 5.79% 1.4K 0.59% 97 [__intel_pmu_enable_all.constprop.0+80 -> __intel_> 5.11% 1.2K 0.43% 71 [native_write_msr+0 ->> With the symbol_conf.event_group, the 'perf report' should only report the block information of the leader event in a group. However, the current implementation retrieves the next event's block information, rather than the next group leader's block information. Make sure the index is updated even if the event is skipped.
