Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 11/19] perf test attr: Ignore the dummy tracking event and the terms it carries
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 20:21:57 +0000 [thread overview]

In-Reply-To: <20261013201415.36428-12-acme@kernel.org>
> From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

> With more than one core PMU the requested events can't cover all the
> CPUs, each cluster has its own PMU, so perf opens the software dummy
> event to carry the tracking terms (mmap, comm, task, mmap_data), leaving
> the requested events without them:
>
> expected mmap=1, got 0
> expected comm=1, got 0
> expected task=1, got 0
>
> That dummy event is not part of what the expectations are about, so
> leave it out of the comparison, unless the expectations ask for one,
> like system-wide-dummy and test-record-dummy-C0 do.
>
> And when perf used it to carry the tracking terms, those terms can't be
> matched on the requested events, leave them out of the match as well.
