From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Subject: [PATCH 04/12] perf stat: Keep the / modifier separator in fallback Date: Wed, 25 Apr 2018 13:00:00 -0300 Message-ID: <20180425160008.3407-5-acme@kernel.org> References: <20180425160008.3407-1-acme@kernel.org> Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20180425160008.3407-1-acme@kernel.org> Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org To: Ingo Molnar Cc: Clark Williams , linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, linux-perf-users@vger.kernel.org, Jiri Olsa , Alexander Shishkin , David Ahern , Namhyung Kim , Peter Zijlstra , Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo List-Id: linux-perf-users.vger.kernel.org From: Jiri Olsa The 'perf stat' fallback for EACCES error sets the exclude_kernel perf_event_attr and tries perf_event_open() again with it. In addition, it also changes the name of the event to reflect that change by adding the 'u' modifier. But it does not take into account the '/' separator, so the event name can end up mangled, like: (note the '/:' characters) $ perf stat -e cpu/cpu-cycles/ kill ... 386,832 cpu/cpu-cycles/:u Adding the code to check on the '/' separator and set the following correct event name: $ perf stat -e cpu/cpu-cycles/ kill ... 388,548 cpu/cpu-cycles/u Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180423090823.32309-4-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/evsel.c | 8 +++++++- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c index 3e87486c28fe..7eb1e9850abf 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/evsel.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/evsel.c @@ -2754,8 +2754,14 @@ bool perf_evsel__fallback(struct perf_evsel *evsel, int err, (paranoid = perf_event_paranoid()) > 1) { const char *name = perf_evsel__name(evsel); char *new_name; + const char *sep = ":"; - if (asprintf(&new_name, "%s%su", name, strchr(name, ':') ?
