When printing iregs, there was a double newline printed because
perf_sample__fprintf_regs() was printing its own and then at the end of
all fields, perf script was adding one. This was causing blank line in
the output:
Before:
$ perf script -Fip,iregs
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340
After:
$ perf script -Fip,iregs
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a8340 DI:0x4a9340
401b8d ABI:2 DX:0x100 SI:0x4a9340 DI:0x4a8340

Committer testing:
First we need to figure out how to request that registers be recorded,
so we use:
# perf record -h reg
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '-I?' to list register names
--buildid-all Record build-id of all DSOs regardless of hits
--user-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use '--user-regs=?' to list register names
#
Ok, now lets ask for them all:
# perf record -a --intr-regs --user-regs sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 4.105 MB perf.data (2760 samples) ]
#
Lets look at the first 6 output lines:
# perf script -Fip,iregs | head -6

[root@five ~]#
To see it more clearly, lets get just two of those registers by sample:
# perf record -a --intr-regs=ax,bx --user-regs=cx,dx sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 3.502 MB perf.data (1653 samples) ]
#
Extra info, lets see what gets setup in that 'struct perf_event_attr':
# perf evlist -v
cycles: size: 120, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type: IP|TID|TIME|CPU|PERIOD|REGS_USER|REGS_INTR, read_format: ID, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1, ksymbol: 1, bpf_event: 1, sample_regs_user: 0xc, sample_regs_intr: 0x3
#
Cook, some PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER|PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_INTR +
attr.sample_regs_user and attr.sample_regs_intr register masks, now lets
see if those newlines are gone in a more compact fashion:
# perf script -Fip,iregs,uregs

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.
