6.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 9bf63282ea77a531ea58acb42fb3f40d2d1e4497 upstream.
The PERF_RECORD_ATTR is used for a pipe mode to describe an event with
attribute and IDs. The ID table comes after the attr and it calculate
size of the table using the total record size and the attr size.
n_ids = (total_record_size - end_of_the_attr_field) / sizeof(u64)
This is fine for most use cases, but sometimes it saves the pipe output
in a file and then process it later. And it becomes a problem if there
is a change in attr size between the record and report.
$ perf record -o- > perf-pipe.data # old version
$ perf report -i- < perf-pipe.data # new version
For example, if the attr size is 128 and it has 4 IDs, then it would
save them in 168 byte like below:
8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
128 byte: perf event attr { .size = 128, ... },
32 byte: event IDs [] = { 1234, 1235, 1236, 1237 },
But when report later, it thinks the attr size is 136 then it only read
the last 3 entries as ID.
8 byte: perf event header { .type = PERF_RECORD_ATTR, .size = 168 },
136 byte: perf event attr { .size = 136, ... },
24 byte: event IDs [] = { 1235, 1236, 1237 }, // 1234 is missing
So it should use the recorded version of the attr. The attr has the
size field already then it should honor the size when reading data.
