      perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork() · 94d5d1b2
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      A bug in (9f498cc5: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
      profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.
      
      [ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)
      0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236)
      0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236)
      0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236)
      0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
      
      Shows us that the test (27d028de perf report: Update for the new
      FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
      
              /*
               * A thread clone will have the same PID for both
               * parent and child.
               */
              if (thread == parent)
                      return 0;
      
      Will clearly fail.
      
      The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
      parent, instead of the cloning thread.
      
      Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
      
       # ./perf report -D | grep FORK
      0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
      0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
      0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
      0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
      0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)
      
      Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
      anymore.
