Some events (context-switch, sched:sched_switch) are losing the conversion of
sample data associated with a thread. For example:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -c 1 -a -- sleep 5
$ perf script
<selected events shown>
ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls
prev_pid=30482 ...
ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls
prev_pid=30482 ...
:30482 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls
prev_pid=30482 ...
The last line lost the conversion from pid to comm. If you look at the events
(perf script -D) you see why - a SAMPLE is generated after the EXIT:
0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
0 1379727589462497 0x1540e8 [0x80]: PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE(IP, 1): 30482/30482:
0xffffffff816416f1 period: 1 addr: 0
... thread: :30482:30482
When perf processes the EXIT event the thread is moved to the dead_threads
list. When the SAMPLE event is processed no thread exists for the pid so a new
one is created by machine__findnew_thread.
This patch addresses the problem by saving the exit time and checking the
dead_threads list for the requested pid. If the time passed into
machine_findnew_thread is non-0 the dead_threads list is walked looking for the
pid. If the thread struct associated with the pid exited within 1usec of the
time passed in the thread is considered a match and returned.
If samples do not contain timestamps then sample->time will be 0 and the
dead_threads list will not be checked. -1 can be used to force always checking
the dead_threads list and returning a match.
with this patch we get:
ls 30482 [000] 1379727.583037: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482
...
ls 30482 [000] 1379727.586339: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482
...
ls 30482 [000] 1379727.589462: sched:sched_switch: prev_comm=ls prev_pid=30482
...
and
0 1379727589449774 0x1540b0 [0x38]: PERF_RECORD_EXIT(30482:30482):(30482:30482)
