Prior to commit 55b9b50811ca ("perf script: Support -F brstack,dso and brstacksym,dso"), we were printing a space before the brstack data. It seems that this space was important. Without it, parsing is difficult. Very sorry for the mistake. Notice here how the "ip" and "brstack" run together: $ perf script -F ip,brstack | head -n 1 22e18c40x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 After this diff, sanity is restored: $ perf script -F ip,brstack | head -n 1 22e18c4 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 0x22e195d/0x22e1990/P/-/-/0 0x22e18e9/0x22e1943/P/-/-/0 0x22e1a69/0x22e18c0/P/-/-/0 0x22e19f7/0x22e1a20/P/-/-/0 0x22e1910/0x22e19ee/P/-/-/0 0x22e19e2/0x22e190b/P/-/-/0 0x22e19a1/0x22e19d0/P/-/-/0 Signed-off-by: Mark Santaniello <marksan@xxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fixes: 55b9b50811ca ("perf script: Support -F brstack,dso and brstacksym,dso") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171006080722.3442046-1-marksan@xxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/builtin-script.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/tools/perf/builtin-script.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-script.c @@ -578,7 +578,7 @@ static void print_sample_brstack(struct thread__find_addr_map(thread, sample->cpumode, MAP__FUNCTION, to, &alt); } - printf("0x%"PRIx64, from); + printf(" 0x%"PRIx64, from); if (PRINT_FIELD(DSO)) { printf("("); map__fprintf_dsoname(alf.map, stdout); @@ -673,7 +673,7 @@ static void print_sample_brstackoff(stru if (alt.map && !alt.map->dso->adjust_symbols) to = map__map_ip(alt.map, to); - printf("0x%"PRIx64, from); + printf(" 0x%"PRIx64, from); if (PRINT_FIELD(DSO)) { printf("("); map__fprintf_dsoname(alf.map, stdout); Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from marksan@xxxxxx are queue-4.13/perf-script-add-missing-separator-for-f-ip-brstack-and-brstackoff.patch
