From: Daniel Bristot de Oliveiva <bris...@redhat.com>
Currently, the sched:sched_switch tracepoint reports deadline tasks
with priority -1. But when reading the trace via perf script I've
got the following output:
# ./d & # (d is a deadline task, see [1])
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
# perf script
...
swapper 0 [000] 2146.962441: sched:sched_switch: swapper/0:0
[120] R ==> d:2593 [4294967295]
d 2593 [000] 2146.972472: sched:sched_switch: d:2593
[4294967295] R ==> g:2590 [4294967295]
The task d reports the wrong priority [4294967295]. This happens because
the "int prio" is stored in an unsigned long long val. Although it is
set as a %lld, as int is shorter than unsigned long long,
trace_seq_printf prints it as a positive number.
The fix is just to cast the val as an int, and print it as a %d,
as in the sched:sched_switch tracepoint's "format".
The output with the fix is:
# ./d &
# perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
# perf script
...
swapper 0 [000] 4306.374037: sched:sched_switch: swapper/0:0
[120] R ==> d:10941 [-1]
d 10941 [000] 4306.383823: sched:sched_switch: d:10941 [-1] R
==> swapper/0:0 [120]
