Subject: [PATCH 03/30] perf evsel: Fix an issue where perf report fails to
show the proper percentage
commit a4a03fc7ef89020baca4f19174e6a43767c6d78a upstream.
This patch fixes an issue where perf report shows nan% for certain
perf.data files. The below is from a report for a do_fork probe:
-nan% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% packagekitd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% dbus-daemon [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
-nan% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
A git bisect shows commit f3bda2c as the cause. However, looking back
through the git history, I saw commit 640c03c which seems to have
removed the required initialization for perf_sample->period. The problem
only started showing after commit f3bda2c. The below patch re-introduces
the initialization and it fixes the problem for me.
With the below patch, for the same perf.data:
73.08% bash [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
8.97% 11-dhclient [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
6.41% sshd [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
3.85% 20-chrony [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
2.56% sendmail [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_fork
This patch applies over current linux-tip commit 9949284.
