From d062ac16f53d1a24047bcc9eded5514a71c363b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 16:15:33 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf report: Fix sample type validation for synthesized callchains Processing instruction tracing data (e.g. Intel PT) can synthesize callchains e.g. $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige However perf report's callgraph option gets extra validation, so: $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat Error: Selected -g or --branch-history but no callchain data. Did you call 'perf record' without -g? # To display the perf.data header info, # please use --header/--header-only options. # Fix the validation to know about instruction tracing options so above command works. A side-effect of the change is that the default option to accumulate the callchain of child functions comes into force. To get the previous behaviour the --no-children option can be used e.g. $ perf report --stdio --itrace=ige -gflat --no-children Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443186956-18718-3-git-send-email-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/builtin-report.c | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-report.c b/tools/perf/builtin-report.c index e4e3f1432622..0d53b485a87b 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-report.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-report.c @@ -214,6 +214,12 @@ static int report__setup_sample_type(struct report *rep) u64 sample_type = perf_evlist__combined_sample_type(session->evlist); bool is_pipe = perf_data_file__is_pipe(session->file); + if (session->itrace_synth_opts->callchain || + (!is_pipe && + perf_header__has_feat(&session->header, HEADER_AUXTRACE) && + !session->itrace_synth_opts->set)) + sample_type |= PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN; + if (!is_pipe && !(sample_type & PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN)) { if (sort__has_parent) { ui__error("Selected --sort parent, but no "
