Currently, if we use perf kvm --guestkallsyms --guestmodules report, we can not get the perf information from perf data file. The all sample are shown as unknown.
Reproducing steps: # perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.624 MB perf.data.guest (~27260 samples) ] # perf kvm --guestkallsyms /tmp/kallsyms --guestmodules /tmp/modules report |grep % 100.00% [guest/6471] [unknown] [g] 0xffffffff8164f330 This bug is caused when delivery sample. We use perf_session__find_machine_for_cpumode() to find the machine, and it call perf_session__findnew_machine(). Then we will delivery the sample to a new machine without kernel mapped. This patch changes perf_session__findnew_machine() to perf_session__find_machine(), so the sample will be deliveried to default guest machine if there is no machine specified for it. Verify steps: # ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.651 MB perf.data.guest (~28437 samples) ] # ./perf kvm --guestkallsyms /home/kallsyms --guestmodules /home/modules report |grep % 22.64% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] update_rq_clock.part.70 19.99% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] d_free 18.46% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] bio_phys_segments 16.25% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] dequeue_task 12.78% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] __switch_to 7.91% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] scheduler_tick 1.75% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] native_apic_mem_write 0.21% :6471 [guest.kernel.kallsyms] [g] apic_timer_interrupt Signed-off-by: Dongsheng Yang <yangds.f...@cn.fujitsu.com> --- tools/perf/util/session.c | 7 ++++++- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/session.c b/tools/perf/util/session.c index 8a7da6f..1770f2f 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/session.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/session.c @@ -851,6 +851,7 @@ static struct machine * struct perf_sample *sample) { const u8 cpumode = event->header.misc & PERF_RECORD_MISC_CPUMODE_MASK; + struct machine *machine; if (perf_guest && ((cpumode == PERF_RECORD_MISC_GUEST_KERNEL) || @@ -863,7 +864,11 @@ static struct machine * else pid = sample->pid; - return perf_session__findnew_machine(session, pid); + machine = perf_session__find_machine(session, pid); + if (!machine) + machine = perf_session__findnew_machine(session, + DEFAULT_GUEST_KERNEL_ID); + return machine; } return &session->machines.host; -- 1.8.2.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
