perf tools: Fix synthesizing tracepoint names from the perf.data headers
We need to use the per event info snapshoted at record time to synthesize the events name, so do it just after reading the perf.data headers, when we already processed the /sys events data, otherwise we'll end up using the local /sys that only by sheer luck will have the same tracepoint ID -> real event association. Example: # uname -a Linux felicio.ghostprotocols.net 3.4.0-rc5+ #1 SMP Sat May 19 15:27:11 BRT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # perf record -e sched:sched_switch usleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.015 MB perf.data (~648 samples) ] # cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id 279 # perf evlist -v sched:sched_switch: sample_freq=1, type: 2, config: 279, size: 80, sample_type: 1159, read_format: 7, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1 # So on the above machine the sched:sched_switch has tracepoint id 279, but on the machine were we'll analyse it it has a different id: $ cat /t/events/sched/sched_switch/id 56 $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data kmem:mm_balancedirty_writeout $ cat /t/events/kmem/mm_balancedirty_writeout/id 279 With this fix: $ perf evlist -i /tmp/perf.data sched:sched_switch Reported-by: Dmitry Antipov <dmitry.antipov@linaro.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-auwks8fpuhmrdpiefs55o5oz@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
