perf record: Synthesize cgroup events only if needed
It didn't check the tool->cgroup_events bit which is set when the --all-cgroups option is given. Without it, samples will not have cgroup info so no reason to synthesize. We can check the PERF_RECORD_CGROUP records after running perf record *WITHOUT* the --all-cgroups option: Before: $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP 0 0 0x8430 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_CGROUP cgroup: 1 / CGROUP events: 1 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 After: $ perf report -D | grep CGROUP CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 Committer testing: Before: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10003 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 146 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # After: # perf record -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.208 MB perf.data (10448 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # With all-cgroups: # perf record --all-cgroups -a sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 2.374 MB perf.data (11526 samples) ] # perf report -D | grep "CGROUP events" CGROUP events: 146 CGROUP events: 0 CGROUP events: 0 # Fixes: 8fb4b67939e16 ("perf record: Add --all-cgroups option") Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201127054356.405481-1-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
