perf_events: Fix time tracking for events with pid != -1 and cpu != -1
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Per-thread events with a cpu filter, i.e., cpu != -1, were not
reporting correct timings when the thread never ran on the
monitored cpu. The time enabled was reported as a negative
value.

This patch fixes the problem by updating tstamp_stopped,
tstamp_running in event_sched_out() for events with filters and
which are marked as INACTIVE.

The function group_sched_out() is modified to systematically
call into event_sched_out() to avoid duplicating the timing
adjustment code twice.

With the patch, I now get:

$ task_cpu -i -e unhalted_core_cycles,unhalted_core_cycles
noploop 2 noploop for 2 seconds
CPU0 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)
CPU0 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)

CPU1 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)
CPU1 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)

CPU2 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)
CPU2 0		   unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=0)

CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594)
CPU3 4,747,990,931 unhalted_core_cycles (ena=1,991,136,594, run=1,991,136,594)
