When running perf on the ftrace:function tracepoint, there is a bug
which can be reproduced by:
perf record -e ftrace:function -a sleep 20 &
perf record -e ftrace:function ls
perf script
ls 10304 [005] 171.853235: ftrace:function:
perf_output_begin
ls 10304 [005] 171.853237: ftrace:function:
perf_output_begin
ls 10304 [005] 171.853239: ftrace:function:
task_tgid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853240: ftrace:function:
task_tgid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853242: ftrace:function:
__task_pid_nr_ns
ls 10304 [005] 171.853244: ftrace:function:
__task_pid_nr_ns
We can see that all the function traces are doubled.
The problem is caused by the inconsistency of the register
function perf_ftrace_event_register() with the probe function
perf_ftrace_function_call(). The former registers one probe
for every perf_event. And the latter handles all perf_events
on the current cpu. So when two perf_events on the current cpu,
the traces of them will be doubled.
So this patch adds an extra parameter "event" for perf_tp_event,
only send sample data to this event when it's not NULL.
