Subject: [PATCH v2 03/30] perf script: Don't drop metric samples for CPUs missing from the evsel
Date: Fri, 13 Nov 2026 11:53:08 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261113195335.2865725-4-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261113195335.2865725-1-irogers@google.com>
perf script -F metric looks up the index of the sample's CPU in the
evsel's CPU map and, when it isn't present, prints "Missing CPU map
entry for CPU <n>" and ignores the sample. When the perf.data file
doesn't record the CPUs of an event, as is the case for perf record,
__perf_evlist__propagate_maps() sets the evsel's CPUs to the host's
online CPUs. If a CPU is offline when perf script is run, or the
perf.data file was recorded on a machine with more CPUs, then every
sample on such a CPU is dropped from the metrics with a message, for
example thousands of:
Missing CPU map entry for CPU 1
perf script currently only supports global aggregation of the counts
used for metrics, the counts of all CPUs are summed. So place the counts
of a sample whose CPU isn't in the evsel's CPU map in the first CPU of
the map, as was already done for samples without a CPU. This doesn't
change the metric values computed for samples of the CPUs in the map,
the summed counts just include the previously dropped samples, and so
isn't a regression. Aggregating per CPU, and using the CPUs of the
perf.data file's environment rather than the host's, would be future
improvements.
