* perf header: Fixup reading of HEADER_NRCPUS featureArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2016-08-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit caa470475d9b59eeff093ae650800d34612c4379 upstream. The original patch introducing this header wrote the number of CPUs available and online in one order and then swapped those values when reading, fix it. Before: # perf record usleep 1 # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online # perf record usleep 1 # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 3 # echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record usleep 1 # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 2 After the fix, bringing back the CPUs online: # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 2 # nrcpus avail : 4 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/online # perf record usleep 1 # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 3 # nrcpus avail : 4 # echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online # perf record usleep 1 # perf report --header-only | grep 'nrcpus \(online\|avail\)' # nrcpus online : 4 # nrcpus avail : 4 Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Kan Liang <kan.liang@intel.com> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Fixes: fbe96f29ce4b ("perf tools: Make perf.data more self-descriptive (v8)") Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150911153323.GP23511@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Stefan Guendhoer <stefan@guendhoer.com>
