From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit aa50d953c169e876413bf237319e728dd41d9fdd ] It didn't check the tool->cgroup_events bit which is set when the --all-cgroups option is given. Without it, samples will not have cgroup info so no reason to synthesize. We can check the PERF_RECORD_CGROUP records after running perf record *WITHOUT* the --all-cgroups option: Before: $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP 0 0 0x8430 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_CGROUP cgroup: 1 / CGROUP events: 1 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 After: $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 Committer testing: Before: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10003 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 146 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # After: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10448 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # With all-cgroups: # perf record --all-cgroups -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.374 MB perf.data (11526 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 146 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # Fixes: 8fb4b67939e16 ("perf record: Add --all-cgroups option") Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@xxxxxxx> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@xxxxxxxxxx> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201127054356.405481-1-namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@xxxxxxxxxx> --- tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c b/tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c index 89b390623b63d..54ca751a2b3b3 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/synthetic-events.c @@ -563,6 +563,9 @@ int perf_event__synthesize_cgroups(struct perf_tool *tool, char cgrp_root[PATH_MAX]; size_t mount_len; /* length of mount point in the path */ + if (!tool || !tool->cgroup_events) + return 0; + if (cgroupfs_find_mountpoint(cgrp_root, PATH_MAX, "perf_event") < 0) { pr_debug("cannot find cgroup mount point\n"); return -1; -- 2.27.0
