From 7de1a87f1ee757433743e8655e5eb521c432e589 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Howard Chu Date: Wed, 30 Apr 2025 19:28:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf record --off-cpu: Disable perf_event's callchain collection There is a check in evsel.c that does this: if (evsel__is_offcpu_event(evsel)) evsel->core.attr.sample_type &= OFFCPU_SAMPLE_TYPES; This along with: #define OFFCPU_SAMPLE_TYPES (PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER | PERF_SAMPLE_IP | \ PERF_SAMPLE_TID | PERF_SAMPLE_TIME | \ PERF_SAMPLE_ID | PERF_SAMPLE_CPU | \ PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD | PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN | \ PERF_SAMPLE_CGROUP) will tell perf_event to collect callchain. We don't need the callchain from perf_event when collecting off-cpu samples, because it's prev's callchain, not next's callchain.
