From 3ed850ab2a9c3880c4706dcb16afb0bfe6afff67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 15:41:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Fix instructions sampling rate commit 7ba8fa20e26eb3c0c04d747f7fd2223694eac4d5 upstream. The timestamp used to determine if an instruction sample is made, is an estimate based on the number of instructions since the last known timestamp. A consequence is that it might go backwards, which results in extra samples. Change it so that a sample is only made when the timestamp goes forwards. Note this does not affect a sampling period of 0 or sampling periods specified as a count of instructions. Example: Before: $ perf script --itrace=i10us ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222583: 3270 instructions:u: 7fac71e2e494 __GI___tunables_init+0xf4 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 30902 instructions:u: 7fac71e2da0f _dl_cache_libcmp+0x2f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 10 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 8 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 14 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ea _dl_cache_libcmp+0xa (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 6 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 14 instructions:u: 7fac71e2d9ff _dl_cache_libcmp+0x1f (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222667: 4 instructions:u: 7fac71e2dab2 _dl_cache_libcmp+0xd2 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222728: 16423 instructions:u: 7fac71e2477a _dl_map_object_deps+0x1ba (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ls 13812 [003] 2167315.222734: 12731 instructions:u: 7fac71e27938 _dl_name_match_p+0x68 (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ld-2.28.so) ...
