[PATCH] perf: cs-etm: Fix the assert() to handle captured and unprocessed cpu trace
Posted by Ilkka Koskinen 2 months ago
If one builds perf with DEBUG=1, captures data on multiple CPUs and
finally runs 'perf report -C <cpu>' for only one of the cpus, assert()
aborts the program. This happens because there are empty queues with
format set. This patch changes the condition to abort only if a queue
is not empty and if the format is unset.

  $ make -C tools/perf DEBUG=1 CORESIGHT=1 CSLIBS=/usr/lib CSINCLUDES=/usr/include install
  $ perf record -o kcore --kcore -e cs_etm/timestamp/k -s -C 0-1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1
  $ perf report --input kcore/data --vmlinux=/home/ikoskine/projects/linux/vmlinux -C 1
  Aborted (core dumped)

Oops I didn't realize you could filter on CPU in report mode. Thanks for 
the fix. Adding a test to the end of test_arm_coresight.sh might be 
quite useful. Either way:

Thanks, it should go to the perf-tool.  Arnaldo, please pick up.

Right, picking it now.
