perf cs-etm: Output 0 instead of 0xdeadbeef when exception packets are flushed
Normally exception packets don't directly output a branch sample, but
if they're the last record in a buffer then they will. Because they
don't have addresses set we'll see the placeholder value
CS_ETM_INVAL_ADDR (0xdeadbeef) in the output.
Since commit 6035b6804bdf ("perf cs-etm: Support dummy address value for
CS_ETM_TRACE_ON packet") we've used 0 as an externally visible "not set"
address value. For consistency reasons and to not make exceptions look
like an error, change them to use 0 too.
This is particularly visible when doing userspace only tracing because
trace is disabled when jumping to the kernel, causing the flush and then
forcing the last exception packet to be emitted as a branch. With kernel
trace included, there is no flush so exception packets don't generate
samples until the next range packet and they'll pick up the correct
address.
Before:
$ perf record -e cs_etm//u -- stress -i 1 -t 1
$ perf script -F comm,ip,addr,flags
stress syscall ffffb7eedbc0 => deadbeefdeadbeef
stress syscall ffffb7f14a14 => deadbeefdeadbeef
stress syscall ffffb7eedbc0 => deadbeefdeadbeef
After:
stress syscall ffffb7eedbc0 => 0
stress syscall ffffb7f14a14 => 0
stress syscall ffffb7eedbc0 => 0
