From 82b897782d10fcc4930c9d4a15b175348fdd2871 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Wed, 28 May 2014 11:45:04 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf: Differentiate exec() and non-exec() comm events perf tools like 'perf report' can aggregate samples by comm strings, which generally works. However, there are other potential use-cases. For example, to pair up 'calls' with 'returns' accurately (from branch events like Intel BTS) it is necessary to identify whether the process has exec'd. Although a comm event is generated when an 'exec' happens it is also generated whenever the comm string is changed on a whim (e.g. by prctl PR_SET_NAME). This patch adds a flag to the comm event to differentiate one case from the other. In order to determine whether the kernel supports the new flag, a selection bit named 'exec' is added to struct perf_event_attr. The bit does nothing but will cause perf_event_open() to fail if the bit is set on kernels that do not have it defined.
