The root cause is attr->freq is 1 passed to kernel defaultly in bp events, this make kernel calculate event period not as expect, make sample period to 1 will change attr->freq to 0, to fix this problem. This patch is similar with commit f92128 about tracepoint events: perf: Make the trace events sample period default to 1 Signed-off-by: Jovi Zhang Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/CACV3sbLF8taiCq_VYW-sgRJyupeMzg58C7ZXfMe3xZUiH_Mx6w@mail.gmail.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c index a729945838f5..74a5af4d33ec 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c @@ -490,6 +490,7 @@ int parse_events_add_breakpoint(struct list_head **list, int *idx, attr.bp_len = HW_BREAKPOINT_LEN_4; attr.type = PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT; + attr.sample_period = 1; return add_event(list, idx, &attr, NULL); }
