perf trace record fails some cases in powerpc
# perf test "perf trace record and replay"
128: perf trace record and replay : FAILED!
# perf trace record sleep 1
# echo $?
32
This is happening because of non-zero err value from
auxtrace_record__init() function.
static int record__auxtrace_init(struct record *rec)
{
int err;
if ((rec->opts.auxtrace_snapshot_opts || rec->opts.auxtrace_sample_opts)
&& record__threads_enabled(rec)) {
pr_err("AUX area tracing options are not available in parallel streaming mode.\n");
return -EINVAL;
}
if (!rec->itr) {
rec->itr = auxtrace_record__init(rec->evlist, &err);
if (err)
return err;
}
Here "int err" is not initialised. The code expects "err" to be set from
auxtrace_record__init() function.
Update auxtrace_record__init() in arch/powerpc/util/auxtrace.c to clear
err value in the beginning.
- Clear err value in beginning of function. Any fail later will
set appropriate return code to err.
- Even if we haven't found any event for auxtrace, perf record
should continue for other events. NULL return
will indicate that there is no auxtrace record initialized.
- Not having "err" set here will affect monitoring of other events
also because perf record will fail seeing random value in err.
Set err to -EINVAL before invoking auxtrace_record__init() in
builtin-record.c
With the fix,
# perf trace record sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.033 MB perf.data (228 samples) ]
