Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Fix continue profiling after draining the buffer

commit da231338ec9c098707c8a1e4d8a50e2400e2fe17 uses eventfd to solve rare race
where the setting and checking of 'done' which add done_fd to pollfd.
When draining buffer, revents of done_fd is 0 and evlist__filter_pollfd
function returns a non-zero value.
As a result, perf record does not stop profiling.

The following simple scenarios can trigger this condition:

sleep 10 &
perf record -p $!

After the sleep process exits, perf record should stop profiling and exit.
However, perf record keeps running.

If pollfd revents contains only POLLERR or POLLHUP,
perf record indicates that buffer is draining and need to stop profiling.
Use fdarray_flag__nonfilterable to set done eventfd to nonfilterable objects,
so that evlist__filter_pollfd does not filter and check done eventfd.

Fixes: da231338ec9c (perf record: Use an eventfd to wakeup when done)

Does it build when HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT is not defined?

yea, I was wondering the same.. but it's called only from
code within HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT ifdef

I have tested that if "eventfd" feature is removed from the
FEATURE_TESTS_BASIC list in Makefile.feature,
evlist__add_wakeup_eventfd will not be build.

Modify as follows:

diff --git a/tools/build/Makefile.feature b/tools/build/Makefile.feature
index 97cbfb31b762..d1603050764a 100644
--- a/tools/build/Makefile.feature

Yes, this can't work on systems without eventfd, it will simply not
build, and why do we have to make the definition of this function
conditional on HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT?

I'm missing something :-\

Yeah, this whole call to evlist__add_pollfd is already surrounded by
#ifdef HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT:

1656 if (zstd_init(&session->zstd_data, rec->opts.comp_level) < 0) {
1657 pr_err("Compression initialization failed.\n");
1658 return -1;
1659 }
1660 #ifdef HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT
1661 done_fd = eventfd(0, EFD_NONBLOCK);
1662 if (done_fd < 0) {
1663 pr_err("Failed to create wakeup eventfd, error: %m\n");
1664 status = -1;
1665 goto out_delete_session;
1666 }
1667 err = evlist__add_pollfd(rec->evlist, done_fd);
1668 if (err < 0) {
1669 pr_err("Failed to add wakeup eventfd to poll list\n");
1670 status = err;
1671 goto out_delete_session;
1672 }
1673 #endif // HAVE_EVENTFD_SUPPORT
1674
1675 session->header.env.comp_type = PERF_COMP_ZSTD;
1676 session->header.env.comp_level = rec->opts.comp_level;

Jiri, does your Acked-by stands? Namhyung?

>>>>>>> commit da231338ec9c098707c8a1e4d8a50e2400e2fe17 uses eventfd to solve rare race
>>>>>>> where the setting and checking of 'done' which add done_fd to pollfd.
>>>>>>> When draining buffer, revents of done_fd is 0 and evlist__filter_pollfd
>>>>>>> function returns a non-zero value.
>>>>>>> As a result, perf record does not stop profiling.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> The following simple scenarios can trigger this condition:
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> sleep 10 &
>>>>>>> perf record -p $!
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> After the sleep process exits, perf record should stop profiling and exit.
>>>>>>> However, perf record keeps running.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> If pollfd revents contains only POLLERR or POLLHUP,
>>>>>>> perf record indicates that buffer is draining and need to stop profiling.
>>>>>>> Use fdarray_flag__nonfilterable to set done eventfd to nonfilterable objects,
>>>>>>> so that evlist__filter_pollfd does not filter and check done eventfd.
>>>>>>>
>>>>>>> Fixes: da231338ec9c (perf record: Use an eventfd to wakeup when done)
