Currently the 'diff', 'top', 'buildid-list' and 'stat' perf commands use strncmp() to match subcommands. As a result, matching does not meet expectation. For example: # perf kvm diff1234 # Event 'cycles' # # Baseline Delta Abs Shared Object Symbol # ........ ......... ............. ...... # # Event 'dummy:HG' # # Baseline Delta Abs Shared Object Symbol # ........ ......... ............. ...... # # echo $? 0 # Invalid information should be returned, but success is actually returned. Solution: Use strstarts() to match subcommands. After: # perf kvm diff1234 Usage: perf kvm [<options>] {top|record|report|diff|buildid-list|stat} -i, --input <file> Input file name -o, --output <file> Output file name -v, --verbose be more verbose (show counter open errors, etc) --guest Collect guest os data --guest-code Guest code can be found in hypervisor process --guestkallsyms <file> file saving guest os /proc/kallsyms --guestmodules <file> file saving guest os /proc/modules --guestmount <directory> guest mount directory under which every guest os instance has a subdir --guestvmlinux <file> file saving guest os vmlinux --host Collect host os data # echo $? 129 # Signed-off-by: Yang Jihong <yangjihong1@huawei.com> Acked-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220808092408.107399-2-yangjihong1@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
