From 1b388709906b63923a1004af61605a9483851103 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zhengjun Xing Date: Thu, 8 Sep 2022 15:00:30 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] perf script: Fix Cannot print 'iregs' field for hybrid systems [ Upstream commit 82b2425fad2dd47204b3da589b679220f8aacc0e ] Commit b91e5492f9d7ca89 ("perf record: Add a dummy event on hybrid systems to collect metadata records") adds a dummy event on hybrid systems to fix the symbol "unknown" issue when the workload is created in a P-core but runs on an E-core. The added dummy event will cause "perf script -F iregs" to fail. Dummy events do not have "iregs" attribute set, so when we do evsel__check_attr, the "iregs" attribute check will fail, so the issue happened. The following commit [1] has fixed a similar issue by skipping the attr check for the dummy event because it does not have any samples anyway. It works okay for the normal mode, but the issue still happened when running the test in the pipe mode. In the pipe mode, it calls process_attr() which still checks the attr for the dummy event. This commit fixed the issue by skipping the attr check for the dummy event in the API evsel__check_attr, Otherwise, we have to patch everywhere when evsel__check_attr() is called.
