From 9b2d2066ddf6f38c79aa38321544999fa943f0e0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Thu, 28 May 2020 15:08:59 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf intel-pt: Refine kernel decoding only warning message Stop the message displaying when user space is not being traced. Example: Prerequisites: sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore Before: $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001 Warning: Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing! [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.838 MB perf.data ] After: $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.068 MB perf.data ] $ sudo chmod go-r /proc/kcore $ sudo setcap -r ~/bin/perf Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mathieu Poirier Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200528120859.21604-2-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c b/tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c index de69c8a..839ef52 100644 --- a/tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c +++ b/tools/perf/arch/x86/util/intel-pt.c @@ -883,7 +883,8 @@ static int intel_pt_recording_options(struct auxtrace_record *itr, * per-cpu with no sched_switch (except workload-only). */ if (!ptr->have_sched_switch && !perf_cpu_map__empty(cpus) && - !target__none(&opts->target)) + !target__none(&opts->target) && + !intel_pt_evsel->core.attr.exclude_user) ui__warning("Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing!\n"); return 0; -- 2.7.4
