trace/trace_event_perf: remove duplicate samples on the first tracepoint event
[ Upstream commit afe5960dc208fe069ddaaeb0994d857b24ac19d1 ]
When a tracepoint event is created with attr.freq = 1,
'hwc->period_left' is not initialized correctly. As a result,
in the perf_swevent_overflow() function, when the first time the event occurs,
it calculates the event overflow and the perf_swevent_set_period() returns 3,
this leads to the event are recorded for three duplicate times.
Step to reproduce:
1. Enable the tracepoint event & starting tracing
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/module/module_free
$ echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
2. Record with perf
$ perf record -a --strict-freq -F 1 -e "module:module_free"
3. Trigger module_free event.
$ modprobe -i sunrpc
$ modprobe -r sunrpc
Result:
- Trace pipe result:
$ cat trace_pipe
modprobe-174509 [003] ..... 6504.868896: module_free: sunrpc
- perf sample:
modprobe 174509 [003] 6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
modprobe 174509 [003] 6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
modprobe 174509 [003] 6504.868980: module:module_free: sunrpc
By setting period_left via perf_swevent_set_period() as other sw_event did,
This problem could be solved.
After patch:
- Trace pipe result:
$ cat trace_pipe
modprobe 1153096 [068] 613468.867774: module:module_free: xfs
- perf sample
modprobe 1153096 [068] 613468.867794: module:module_free: xfs
