The decoder creation for raw trace uses metadata from the first CPU.
On per-process/per-thread traces, the first CPU is CPU0. If CPU0 trace
is not enabled, its metadata will be marked unused and the decoder is
not created. Perf report dump skips the decoding part because the
decoder is missing.
To fix this, use metadata of the CPU associated with sample object.

Hi,
Can you provide a perf command line for both the record and decode
phases that demonstrates the problem you are having?
Also note the cpu / trace protocol types

This is inherently incorrect - you are assuming that all trace devices
on a given system are the same and have the same parameters. This does
not have to be the case.

Unformatted ETE data should not only have a single decoder - there
must be a decoder per CPU - as per all trace decode flows. The key
difference with ETE is that it usually has its own trace sink (TRBE),
so no formatting is needed, but per cpu decoder is still required.

Hi Mike,
Looks like I missed replying to your other comments on the code change.
I apologize for that. Please see more of my comments inline.

The intention here is the t_params index and metadata index could be different.
I was letting cs_etm__init_trace_params to provide the correct t_param and
metadata pointer. Maybe a different way is just by adding separate index argument
for the metadata ? For example:

The change is in the context of queue allocation. My understanding is there is
one CPU per queue when unformatted, which I think is aligned with your statement.
I could mention one decoder per CPU to clarify more.
Pasting the documentation under cs_etm__alloc_queue:
/*
* Each queue can only contain data from one CPU when unformatted, so only one decoder is
* needed.
*/

Hi Besar,
It's not just per-process trace, the bug is also in per-cpu mode but it
means that the metadata from CPU 0 is used for every decoder which is
wrong. Although your change also fixes this issue.

Apart from Mike's comments, this looks ok. Thanks for fixing this it has
been on our list for a while.
One issue with calling get_cpu_data() with the sample CPU ID is that it
won't work with old files that don't have the CPU sample flag set. Mike
added the sample flag fairly recently, and I don't think that was a
breaking change for old files at that time. It should be easy to avoid
that by still returning the metadata from CPU 0 when CPU = -1 (Which
isn't correct but is 99% likely to work).
I checked the Coresight tests and they're all passing, at least on a
system without ETE. If you could make sure they're all passing for you
as well that would be great:
sudo ./perf test coresight
I think they currently only work from an in source build, if you get
stuck there.
Thanks
James

Got it, I will update the commit message on V2.

Thanks for the feedback, I will add this check and debug message to indicate
the missing cpu id.

The test looks ok on my system. Here is what I got:
74: CoreSight / ASM Pure Loop : Ok
75: CoreSight / Memcpy 16k 10 Threads : Ok
76: CoreSight / Thread Loop 10 Threads - Check TID : Ok
77: CoreSight / Thread Loop 2 Threads - Check TID : Ok
78: CoreSight / Unroll Loop Thread 10 : Ok
103: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Ok
Thanks,
Besar
