perf_counter: Report the cloning task as parent on perf_counter_fork()
A bug in (9f498cc: perf_counter: Full task tracing) makes
profiling multi-threaded apps it go belly up.
[ output as: (PID:TID):(PPID:PTID) ]
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3237):(3236:3236)
0xa10 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3238):(3236:3236)
0xa70 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3239):(3236:3236)
0xad0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3240):(3236:3236)
0xb18 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (3237:3241):(3236:3236)
Shows us that the test (27d028d perf report: Update for the new
FORK/EXIT events) in builtin-report.c:
/*
* A thread clone will have the same PID for both
* parent and child.
*/
if (thread == parent)
return 0;
Will clearly fail.
The problem is that perf_counter_fork() reports the actual
parent, instead of the cloning thread.
Fixing that (with the below patch), yields:
# ./perf report -D | grep FORK
0x4c8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1590):(1589:1589)
0xbd8 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1591):(1590:1590)
0xc80 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1592):(1590:1590)
0x3338 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1593):(1590:1590)
0x66b0 [0x18]: PERF_EVENT_FORK: (1590:1594):(1590:1590)
Which both makes more sense and doesn't confuse perf report
anymore.
