    perf evlist: Set the correct idx when adding dummy events · 555b4ec4
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    The evsel->idx field is used mainly to access the right bucket in
    per-event arrays such as the annotation ones, but also to set
    evsel->tracking, that in turn will decide what of the events will ask
    for PERF_RECORD_{MMAP,COMM,EXEC} to be generated, i.e. which
    perf_event_attr will have its mmap, etc fields set.
    
    When we were adding the "dummy" event using perf_evlist__add_dummy() we
    were not setting it correctly, which could result in multiple tracking
    events.
    
    Now that I'll try using a dummy event to be the tracking one when using
    'perf record --delay', i.e. when we process the --delay
    setting we may already have the evlist set up, like with:
    
      perf record -e cycles,instructions --delay 1000 ./workload
    
    We will need to add a "dummy" event, then reset evsel->tracking for the
    first event, "cycles", and set it instead to the dummy one, and also
    setting its attr.enable_on_exec, so that we get the PERF_RECORD_MMAP,
    etc metadata events while waiting to enable the explicitely requested
    events, so lets get this straight and set the right evsel->idx.
