Commit 0a892c1c ("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis") reveals an issue with Intel PT system wide tracing. Specifically that Intel PT already adds a dummy tracking event, and it is not the first event. Adding another dummy tracking event causes duplicated sideband events. Fix by checking for an existing dummy tracking event first. Example showing duplicated switch events: Before: # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.895 MB perf.data ] # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head swapper 0 [007] 6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516222: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516223: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516224: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516227: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [007] 6390.516227: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516228: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [007] 6390.516228: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [002] 6390.516415: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 5556/5559 swapper 0 [002] 6390.516416: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 5556/5559 After: # perf record -a -e intel_pt//u uname Linux [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.868 MB perf.data ] # perf script --no-itrace --show-switch-events | head swapper 0 [005] 6450.567013: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 7179/7181 perf 7181 [005] 6450.567014: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 perf 7181 [005] 6450.567028: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [005] 6450.567029: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 7179/7181 swapper 0 [005] 6450.571699: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.571700: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.571702: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT next pid/tid: 0/0 swapper 0 [005] 6450.571703: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 11/11 swapper 0 [005] 6450.579703: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE OUT preempt next pid/tid: 11/11 rcu_sched 11 [005] 6450.579704: PERF_RECORD_SWITCH_CPU_WIDE IN prev pid/tid: 0/0 Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200629091955.17090-3-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
