perf: Do not send exit event twice
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In case we monitor events system wide, we get EXIT event
(when configured) twice for each task that exited.

Note doubled lines with same pid/tid in following example:

  $ sudo ./perf record -a
  ^C[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.480 MB perf.data (2518 samples) ]
  $ sudo ./perf report -D | grep EXIT

  0 60290687567581 0x59910 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250)
  0 60290687568354 0x59948 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1250:1250):(1250:1250)

  2 60290692739910 0x69a50 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(1252:1252):(1252:1252)

The reason is that the cpu contexts are processes each time
we call perf_event_task. I'm changing the perf_event_aux logic
to serve task_ctx and cpu contexts separately, which ensure we
don't get EXIT event generated twice on same cpu context.

This does not affect other auxiliary events, as they don't
use task_ctx at all.
