From 6db1a5c190d6abe416ea36aa28a6c53e0b3bbd5e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Tue, 5 Jan 2016 22:09:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] perf stat record: Keep sample_type 0 for pipe session For pipe sessions we need to keep sample_type zero, because script's perf_evsel__check_attr is triggered by sample_type != 0, and the check would fail on stat session. I was tempted to keep it zero unconditionally, but the pipe session is sufficient. In perf.data session we are guarded by HEADER_STAT feature.
