That lead me and David Ahern to see that something was fishy on the thread
synthesizing routines, at least for the case where the workload is started
from 'perf record', as -1 is the default for target_tid in 'perf record --tid'
parameter, so somehow we were trying to synthesize the PERF_RECORD_MMAP and
PERF_RECORD_COMM events for the thread -1, a bug.
So I investigated this and noticed that when we introduced support for
recording a process and its threads using --pid some bugs were introduced and
that the way to fix it was to instead of passing the target_tid to the event
synthesizing routines we should better pass the thread_map that has the list of
threads for a --pid or just the single thread for a --tid.
Checked in the following ways:
On a 8-way machine run cyclictest:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record cyclictest -a -t -n -p99 -i100 -d50
policy: fifo: loadavg: 0.00 0.13 0.31 2/139 28798

This will create one extra thread per CPU:
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28825 OTHER 0 0xff 2169 671 cyclictest
28832 FIFO 93 6 52338 1 cyclictest
28833 FIFO 92 7 46524 1 cyclictest
28826 FIFO 99 0 209360 1 cyclictest
28827 FIFO 98 1 139577 1 cyclictest
28828 FIFO 97 2 104686 0 cyclictest
28829 FIFO 96 3 83751 1 cyclictest
28830 FIFO 95 4 69794 1 cyclictest
28831 FIFO 94 5 59825 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
So we should expect only samples for the above 9 threads when using the
--dump-raw-trace|-D perf report switch to look at the column with the tid:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
629 28825
110 28826
491 28827
308 28828
198 28829
621 28830
225 28831
203 28832
89 28833
[root@emilia ~]#
So for workloads started by 'perf record' seems to work, now for existing workloads,
just run cyclictest first, without 'perf record':
[root@emilia ~]# tuna -t cyclictest -CP
thread ctxt_switches
pid SCHED_ rtpri affinity voluntary nonvoluntary cmd
28859 OTHER 0 0xff 594 200 cyclictest
28864 FIFO 95 4 16587 1 cyclictest
28865 FIFO 94 5 14219 1 cyclictest
28866 FIFO 93 6 12443 0 cyclictest
28867 FIFO 92 7 11062 1 cyclictest
28860 FIFO 99 0 49779 1 cyclictest
28861 FIFO 98 1 33190 1 cyclictest
28862 FIFO 97 2 24895 1 cyclictest
28863 FIFO 96 3 19918 1 cyclictest
[root@emilia ~]#
and then later did:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --pid 28859 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.027 MB perf.data (~1195 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]#
To collect 3 seconds worth of samples for pid 28859 and its children:
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
15 28859
33 28860
19 28861
13 28862
13 28863
10 28864
11 28865
9 28866
255 28867
[root@emilia ~]#
Works, last thing is to check if looking at just one of those threads also works:
[root@emilia ~]# perf record --tid 28866 sleep 3
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.006 MB perf.data (~242 samples) ]
[root@emilia ~]# perf report -D | grep RECORD_SAMPLE | cut -d/ -f2 | cut -d: -f1 | sort | uniq -c
3 28866
[root@emilia ~]#
Works too.
