[PATCH] perf ftrace: Command fails on s390

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Fri Apr 09 2021 - 04:09:37 EST


Command 'perf ftrace -v -- ls' fails in s390 (at least 5.12.0rc6).

The root cause is a missing pointer dereference which causes an
array element address to be used as PID.

Fix this by extracting the PID.

Output before:
# ./perf ftrace -v -- ls
function_graph tracer is used
write '-263732416' to tracing/set_ftrace_pid failed: Invalid argument
failed to set ftrace pid
#

Output after:
./perf ftrace -v -- ls
function_graph tracer is used
# tracer: function_graph
#
# CPU DURATION FUNCTION CALLS
# | | | | | | |
4) | rcu_read_lock_sched_held() {
4) 0.552 us | rcu_lockdep_current_cpu_online();
4) 6.124 us | }
