Subject: [PATCH] perf: change samples type to unsigned long long
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2015 14:49:43 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1443563383-4064-1-git-send-email-yang.shi@linaro.org> (raw)
When run "perf record -e", the number of samples showed up is wrong on some
32 bit systems, i.e. powerpc and arm.
For example, run the below commands on 32 bit powerpc:
perf probe -x /lib/libc.so.6 malloc
perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -a ls
perf.data
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.036 MB perf.data (13829241621624967218 samples) ]
Actually, "perf script" just shows 21 samples. The number of samples is also
absurd since samples is long type, but it is printed as PRIu64.
Build test is run on x86-64, x86, aarch64, arm, mips, ppc and ppc64.
