perf record: Track sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs
User space tasks can migrate between CPUs, we need to track side-band events for all CPUs. The specific scenarios are as follows: CPU0 CPU1 perf record -C 0 start taskA starts to be created and executed -> PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP events only deliver to CPU1 ...... | migrate to CPU0 | Running on CPU0 <----------/ ... perf record -C 0 stop Now perf samples the PC of taskA. However, perf does not record the PERF_RECORD_COMM and PERF_RECORD_MMAP events of taskA. Therefore, the comm and symbols of taskA cannot be parsed. The solution is to record sideband events for all CPUs when tracing selected CPUs. Because this modifies the default behavior, add related comments to the perf record man page. The sys_perf_event_open invoked is as follows: # perf --debug verbose=3 record -e cpu-clock -C 1 true <SNIP> Opening: cpu-clock ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE) size 136 config 0 (PERF_COUNT_SW_CPU_CLOCK) { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|LOST disabled 1 inherit 1 freq 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 5 Opening: dummy:u ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE) size 136 config 0x9 (PERF_COUNT_SW_DUMMY) { sample_period, sample_freq } 1 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|CPU|IDENTIFIER read_format ID|LOST inherit 1 exclude_kernel 1 exclude_hv 1 mmap 1 comm 1 task 1 sample_id_all 1 exclude_guest 1 mmap2 1 comm_exec 1 ksymbol 1 bpf_event 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 0 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 6 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 1 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 7 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 2 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 9 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 3 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 10 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 4 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 11 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 5 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 12 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 6 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 13 sys_perf_event_open: pid -1 cpu 7 group_fd -1 flags 0x8 = 14 <SNIP> Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong <[email protected]> Tested-by: Ravi Bangoria <[email protected]> Cc: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <[email protected]> Cc: Andi Kleen <[email protected]> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <[email protected]> Cc: Ian Rogers <[email protected]> Cc: Ingo Molnar <[email protected]> Cc: James Clark <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Kan Liang <[email protected]> Cc: Mark Rutland <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]> Cc: Thomas Richter <[email protected]> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
