perf record: Synthesize features before events in pipe mode

2018-03-16T16:56:50Z

We need to synthesize events first, because some features works on top of them (on report side).

perf record: Avoid duplicate call of perf_default_config()

2018-03-16T16:55:58Z

We have brought perf_default_config to the very beginning at main(), so it no need to call perf_default_config() once more for most of config in perf-record but only for record.call-graph.

perf mmap: Use the stored scope data in perf_mmap__push()

2018-03-08T13:05:51Z

Using the 'start' and 'end' which are stored in struct perf_mmap to replace the temporary 'start' and 'end'. The temporary variables will be discarded later. It doesn't need to pass 'overwrite' to perf_mmap__push(). It's stored in struct perf_mmap.

perf record: Fix crash in pipe mode

2018-03-05T12:58:45Z

Currently we can crash perf record when running in pipe mode, like: $ perf record ls | perf report # To display the perf.data header info, please use --header/--header-only options. # perf: Segmentation fault Error: The - file has no samples! The callstack of the crash is: 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name 3513 ev = event_update_event__new(len + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__NAME, evsel->id[0]); (gdb) bt #0 0x0000000000515242 in perf_event__synthesize_event_update_name #1 0x00000000005158a4 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr #2 0x0000000000443347 in record__synthesize #3 0x00000000004438e3 in __cmd_record #4 0x000000000044514e in cmd_record #5 0x00000000004cbc95 in run_builtin #6 0x00000000004cbf02 in handle_internal_command #7 0x00000000004cc054 in run_argv #8 0x00000000004cc422 in main The reason of the crash is that the evsel does not have ids array allocated and the pipe's synthesize code tries to access it. We don't force evsel ids allocation when we have single event, because it's not needed. However we need it when we are in pipe mode even for single event as a key for evsel update event. Fixing this by forcing evsel ids allocation event for single event, when we are in pipe mode.

perf record: Throttle user defined frequencies to the maximum allowed

# perf record -F 200000 sleep 1 warning: Maximum frequency rate (15,000 Hz) exceeded, throttling from 200,000 Hz to 15,000 Hz. The limit can be raised via /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate. The kernel will lower it when perf's interrupts take too long. Use --strict-freq to disable this throttling, refusing to record.
