perf script fails to report hardware cache events (PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE) where as perf report shows the samples. Fix it. Ex,
# perf record -e L1-dcache-loads ./a.out [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (11 samples)] Before patch: # perf script | wc -l 0 After patch: # perf script | wc -l 11 Signed-off-by: Seeteena Thoufeek <s1see...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> --- tools/perf/builtin-script.c | 12 ++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 12 insertions(+) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-script.c b/tools/perf/builtin-script.c index cefc881..9e94bb7 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-script.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-script.c @@ -180,6 +180,18 @@ enum { PERF_OUTPUT_EVNAME | PERF_OUTPUT_TRACE }, + [PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE] = { + .user_set = false, + + .fields = PERF_OUTPUT_COMM | PERF_OUTPUT_TID | + PERF_OUTPUT_CPU | PERF_OUTPUT_TIME | + PERF_OUTPUT_EVNAME | PERF_OUTPUT_IP | + PERF_OUTPUT_SYM | PERF_OUTPUT_SYMOFFSET | + PERF_OUTPUT_DSO | PERF_OUTPUT_PERIOD, + + .invalid_fields = PERF_OUTPUT_TRACE | PERF_OUTPUT_BPF_OUTPUT, + }, + [PERF_TYPE_RAW] = { .user_set = false, -- 1.8.3.1
