Subject: [PATCH 1/5] perf stat: Fix per-pkg event reporting bug
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2015 15:54:28 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1442516072-27033-2-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1442516072-27033-1-git-send-email-acme@kernel.org>
From: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com>
Per-pkg events need to be captured once per processor socket. The code
in check_per_pkg() ensures only one value per processor package is used.
However there is a problem with this function in case the first CPU of
the package does not measure anything for the per-pkg event, but other
CPUs do.
Consider the following:
$ create cgroup FOO; echo $$ >FOO/tasks; taskset -c 1 noploop &
$ perf stat -a -I 1000 -e intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ -G FOO sleep 100
1.00000 <not counted> Bytes intel_cqm/llc_occupancy/ FOO
The reason for this is that CPU0 in the cgroup has nothing running on it.
Yet check_per_plg() will mark socket0 as processed and no other event
value will be considered for the socket.
This patch fixes the problem by having check_per_pkg() only consider
events which actually ran.
