Subject: [PATCH v8 2/4] perf sched: Handle missing trace samples in pipe mode
Date: Wed, 5 Aug 2026 17:07:49 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260805210751.287746-3-atomlin@atomlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260805210751.287746-1-atomlin@atomlin.com>
For pipe mode streams, event attributes are received dynamically during
event processing, meaning session->evlist is not populated prior to
perf_session__process_events(). To handle pipe input correctly:
- Register the missing .attr, .tracing_data, .build_id, and .feature
callbacks in cmd_sched()
- Promote the handlers array to file-scope (latency_handlers[]) and
dynamically assign matching tracepoint handlers
(or process_sched_ignore) inside
perf_sched__process_tracepoint_sample() when evsel->handler is NULL;
replace process_sched_wakeup_ignore() with process_sched_ignore()
- Perform the trace check post-processing when handling pipe data
Fixes: 27295592c22e ("perf session: Share the common trace sample_check routine as perf_session__has_traces")
