From 56e6f602aa4432f7fe90a0d9ba379b2735b07b6b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:53:51 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] perf tool: Save cmdline from user in file header vs what is passed to record A number of builtin commands process some user args and then pass the rest to cmd_record. cmd_record then saves argc/argv that it receives into the header of the perf data file. But this loses the arguments handled by the first command -- ie., the real command line from the user. This patch saves the command line as typed by the user rather than what was passed to cmd_record. As an example consider the command: $ perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 10 Currently the command saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf record -o perf.data.kvm -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 (ignore the duplicated -o -- the first would be yet another bug with perf-kvm). With this patch the command line saved to the header is: cmdline : /tmp/p3.5/perf kvm --guest --host --guestmount=/tmp/guest-mount record -fo /tmp/perf.data -ag -- sleep 1 v2: simplified to saving the command in parse_options per Stephane's suggestion Signed-off-by: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1343616831-6408-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- Reading git-format-patch failed
