4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 59622fd496a3175c7bf549046e091d81c303ecff ] The Intel PMU event aliases have a implicit period= specifier to set the default period. Unfortunately this breaks overriding these periods with -c or -F, because the alias terms look like they are user specified to the internal parser, and user specified event qualifiers override the command line options. Track that they are coming from aliases by adding a "weak" state to the term. Any weak terms don't override command line options. I only did it for -c/-F for now, I think that's the only case that's broken currently. Before: $ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any ... { sample_period, sample_freq } 2000003 After: $ perf record -c 1000 -vv -e uops_issued.any ... { sample_period, sample_freq } 1000 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171020202755.21410-2-andi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <alexander.levin@xxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 12 ++++++++---- tools/perf/util/evsel.h | 1 + tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 2 ++ tools/perf/util/parse-events.h | 3 +++ tools/perf/util/pmu.c | 5 +++++ 5 files changed, 19 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --- a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c @@ -733,12 +733,16 @@ static void apply_config_terms(struct pe list_for_each_entry(term, config_terms, list) { switch (term->type) { case PERF_EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_PERIOD: - attr->sample_period = term->val.period; - attr->freq = 0; + if (!(term->weak && opts->user_interval != ULLONG_MAX)) { + attr->sample_period = term->val.period; + attr->freq = 0; + } break; case PERF_EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_FREQ: - attr->sample_freq = term->val.freq; - attr->freq = 1; + if (!(term->weak && opts->user_freq != UINT_MAX)) { + attr->sample_freq = term->val.freq; + attr->freq = 1; + } break; case PERF_EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_TIME: if (term->val.time) --- a/tools/perf/util/evsel.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/evsel.h @@ -67,6 +67,7 @@ struct perf_evsel_config_term { bool overwrite; char *branch; } val; + bool weak; }; /** struct perf_evsel - event selector --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c @@ -1115,6 +1115,7 @@ do { \ INIT_LIST_HEAD(&__t->list); \ __t->type = PERF_EVSEL__CONFIG_TERM_ ## __type; \ __t->val.__name = __val; \ + __t->weak = term->weak; \ list_add_tail(&__t->list, head_terms); \ } while (0) @@ -2395,6 +2396,7 @@ static int new_term(struct parse_events_ *term = *temp; INIT_LIST_HEAD(&term->list); + term->weak = false; switch (term->type_val) { case PARSE_EVENTS__TERM_TYPE_NUM: --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.h @@ -101,6 +101,9 @@ struct parse_events_term { /* error string indexes for within parsed string */ int err_term; int err_val; + + /* Coming from implicit alias */ + bool weak; }; struct parse_events_error { --- a/tools/perf/util/pmu.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/pmu.c @@ -404,6 +404,11 @@ static int pmu_alias_terms(struct perf_p parse_events_terms__purge(&list); return ret; } + /* + * Weak terms don't override command line options, + * which we don't want for implicit terms in aliases. + */ + cloned->weak = true; list_add_tail(&cloned->list, &list); } list_splice(&list, terms);
