[PATCH 0/4] perf intel-pt: Fix the pipe mode (v2)

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Mon Jan 30 2023 - 21:33:57 EST


Hello,

I found some problems in Intel-PT and auxtrace in general with pipe.
In the past it used to work with pipe, but recent code fails. As it
also touches the generic code, other auxtrace users like ARM SPE will
be affected too. I added a test case to verify it works with pipes.

Changes in v2)
* add a warning in intel_pt_process_auxtrace_info()
* add Reviewed-by from James

At last, I can run this command without a problem.

$ perf record -o- -e intel_pt// true | perf inject -b | perf report -i- --itrace=i1000

The code is available at 'perf/auxtrace-pipe-v2' branch in

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/namhyung/linux-perf.git

Thanks,
Namhyung

perf inject: Use perf_data__read() for auxtrace
perf intel-pt: Do not try to queue auxtrace data on pipe
perf session: Avoid calling lseek(2) for pipe
perf test: Add pipe mode test to the Intel PT test suite
