[PATCH 4.14 136/183] perf record: Fix period option handling

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>


[ Upstream commit f290aa1ffa45ed7e37599840878b4dae68269ee1 ]

Stephan reported we don't unset PERIOD sample type when --no-period is
specified. Adding the unset check and reset PERIOD if --no-period is
specified.

Committer notes:

Check the sample_type, it shouldn't have PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD there when
--no-period is used.

Before:

  # perf record --no-period sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.018 MB perf.data (7 samples) ]
  # perf evlist -v
  cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  #

After:

[root@jouet ~]# perf record --no-period sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.019 MB perf.data (17 samples) ]
[root@jouet ~]# perf evlist -v
cycles:ppp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 3, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
[root@jouet ~]#
