perf intel-pt: Fix sample instruction bytes
The decoder reports the current instruction if it was decoded. In some cases the current instruction is not decoded, in which case the instruction bytes length must be set to zero. Ensure that is always done. Note perf script can anyway get the instruction bytes for any samples where they are not present. Also note, that there is a redundant "ptq->insn_len = 0" statement which is not removed until a subsequent patch in order to make this patch apply cleanly to stable branches. Example: A machne that supports TSX is required. It will have flag "rtm". Kernel parameter tsx=on may be required. # for w in `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep -m1 flags `;do echo $w | grep rtm ; done rtm Test program: #include <stdio.h> #include <immintrin.h> int main() { int x = 0; if (_xbegin() == _XBEGIN_STARTED) { x = 1; _xabort(1); } else { printf("x = %d\n", x); } return 0; } Compile with -mrtm i.e. gcc -Wall -Wextra -mrtm xabort.c -o xabort Record: perf record -e intel_pt/cyc/u --filter 'filter main @ ./xabort' ./xabort Before: # perf script --itrace=xe -F+flags,+insn,-period --xed --ns xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348581: transactions: x 400b81 main+0x14 (/root/xabort) mov $0xffffffff, %eax xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348624: transactions: tx abrt 400b93 main+0x26 (/root/xabort) mov $0xffffffff, %eax After: # perf script --itrace=xe -F+flags,+insn,-period --xed --ns xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348581: transactions: x 400b81 main+0x14 (/root/xabort) xbegin 0x6 xabort 1478 [007] 92161.431348624: transactions: tx abrt 400b93 main+0x26 (/root/xabort) xabort $0x1 Fixes: faaa87680b25d ("perf intel-pt/bts: Report instruction bytes and length in sample") Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210519074515.9262-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
