I moved those patches to a separate branch, perf/switch_output, till we get a
bit more review, I think I was too fast on tentatively processing this patchset
and have some questions, for instance, this part I thin really confusing, in
the main record loop:
switch_output_enable();
for (;;) {
unsigned long long hits = rec->samples;
if (record__mmap_read_all(rec) < 0) {
auxtrace_snapshot_disable();
err = -1;
goto out_child;
}
<SNIP>
if (switch_output_is_disabled()) {
switch_output_enable();
if (!quiet)
fprintf(stderr, "[ perf record: dump data: Woken up %ld times ]\n",
waking);
waking = 0;
fd = record__switch_output(rec, false);
if (fd < 0) {
pr_err("Failed to switch to new file\n");
err = fd;
goto out_child;
}
}
<SNIP>
}
That switch_output_enable() one we can't get to because it is part of that
trigger_ thing, so just by looking here we think switch_output is being enabled
unconditionally, when in fact it will check if it is "OFF" and if so, will not
"enable", then when we see switch_output_is_disabled() the question will return
false if it is "OFF", but what we read is "hey, this is not disabled, so it
must be enabled, no? Confusing :-\
Perhaps we should have multiple record loops, one really simple, the original
one, one for auxtrace, that, from what we've discussed so far, doesn't lok will
be supported together with output switch, and one for output switch?
Would be something like:
if (switch_output)
err = record__switch_output_read_events()
else if (auxtrace)
err = record__auxtrace_read_events()
else
err = record__read_events();
And then each of these loops don't need to have all those branches per mmap_read.
