perf script: Fix brcntr output with --xed
brcntr in perf script brstack insn currently outputs
$ perf record -j any,counter ...
$ perf script -F +brcntr,+brstackinsn
...
BC1s 3450809 5665912.127194: 100127
cpu_core/cycles/: 7f0475d6cc89 handle_intel.constprop.0+0x2b
(/usr/lib64/ld-linux-
x86-64.so.2)
intel_check_word.constprop.0+224:
00007f0475d6ca7e insn: 00 4b db br_cntr: # PRED 21 cycles [21]
...
This has two issues:
- The description says no event is a single dash, but that is not what is printed.
- The b in brcntr is ambigious with the hex numbers in insns, which
breaks with --xed. It parses the b as another instruction byte and
merges the instruction with a missing b and no space:
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr --xed
...
00005618c6d683b5 jnz 0x5618c6d683bdr_cntr: # PRED 5 cycles [1396] 8.60 IPC
This patches fixes these two problems. It moves the brcntr output into
the "#" comment which also looks nicer and also fixes the no event case.
$ perf script -F +brstackinsn,+brcntr --xed
...
00005618c6d6624f jnz 0x5618c6d65fb7 # br_cntr: - MISPRED 1 cycles [1398] 3.00 IPC
Since the old broken format has shipped for a few releases there is a
risk of breaking some existing parser, but since this is a obscure
feature I hope they're not too common and can adapt.
