perf script: Fix crash with printing mixed trace point and other events
'perf script' crashes currently when printing mixed trace points and other events because the trace format does not handle events without trace meta data. Add a simple check to avoid that. % cat > test.c main() { printf("Hello world\n"); } ^D % gcc -g -o test test.c % sudo perf probe -x test 'test.c:3' % perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test % perf script <segfault> Committer testing: Before: # perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.28.so malloc Added new event: probe_libc:malloc (on malloc in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1 # perf probe -l probe_libc:malloc (on __libc_malloc@malloc/malloc.c in /usr/lib64/libc-2.28.so) # perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_libc:*}:S' sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.023 MB perf.data (40 samples) ] # perf script Segmentation fault (core dumped) ^C # After: # perf script | head -6 sleep 2888 94796.944981: 16198 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffffff925dc04f get_random_u32+0x1f (/lib/modules/5.0.0-rc2+/build/vmlinux) sleep 2888 [-01] 94796.944981: probe_libc:malloc: sleep 2888 94796.944983: 4713 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffffff922763af change_protection+0xcf (/lib/modules/5.0.0-rc2+/build/vmlinux) sleep 2888 [-01] 94796.944983: probe_libc:malloc: sleep 2888 94796.944986: 9934 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffffff922777e0 move_page_tables+0x0 (/lib/modules/5.0.0-rc2+/build/vmlinux) sleep 2888 [-01] 94796.944986: probe_libc:malloc: # Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190117194834.21940-1-andi@firstfloor.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
