perf hists browser: Take the --comm, --dsos, etc filters into account
commit 9c0fa8dd upstream. At some point: commit 2c86c7ca Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Date: Mon Mar 17 18:18:54 2014 -0300 perf report: Merge al->filtered with hist_entry->filtered We stopped dropping samples for things filtered via the --comms, --dsos, --symbols, etc, i.e. things marked as filtered in the symbol resolution routines (thread__find_addr_map(), perf_event__preprocess_sample(), etc). But then, in: commit 268397cb Author: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Date: Tue Apr 22 14:49:31 2014 +0900 perf top/tui: Update nr_entries properly after a filter is applied We don't take into account entries that were filtered in perf_event__preprocess_sample() and friends, which leads to inconsistency in the browser seek routines, that expects the number of hist_entry->filtered entries to match what it thinks is the number of unfiltered, browsable entries. So, for instance, when we do: perf top --symbols ___non_existent_symbol___ the hist_browser__nr_entries() routine thinks there are no filters in place, uses the hists->nr_entries but all entries are filtered, leading to a segfault. Tested with: perf top --symbols malloc,free --percentage=relative Freezing, by pressing 'f', at any time and doing the math on the percentages ends up with 100%, ditto for: perf top --dsos libpthread-2.20.so,libxul.so --percentage=relative Both were segfaulting, all fixed now. More work needed to do away with checking if filters are in place, we should just use the nr_non_filtered_samples counter, no need to conditionally use it or hists.nr_filter, as what the browser does is just show unfiltered stuff. An audit of how it is being accounted is needed, this is the minimal fix.
