Subject: [PATCH 3/3] perf test: Fix record tests on hybrid machines
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2026 14:52:55 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260923215255.3329181-3-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260923215255.3329181-1-namhyung@kernel.org>
Currently the leader sampling test looks for "cycles:" string to match
the event and retrieve the value before the event name. But it won't
work on hybrid systems as the event name is different like below.
$ perf script | grep -m 10 brstack

But we can control the output format of perf script using -F option. So
we knows where the period is in the output. To filter by symbol name,
"ip" and "sym" fields are required as well.
$ perf script -F period,ip,sym | grep -m 10 brstack
