Look at function cs_etm__alloc_queue(), there you'll find "d_params.data = etmq". In function cs_etm_decoder__new(), decoder->data = d_params->data; This means that anywhere you have a decoder, decoder->data is an etmq. I've used this profusely in my work on CPU-wide trace scenarios. Because you're getting there ahead of me you'll need to fix the declaration of struct cs_etm_queue but that's easy.

I've been thinking further about this and manipulating the etmq packet and prev_packet from the cs-etm-decoder.c won't work because all we have at that time is the decoder's packet queue. My goal is to manipulate the flags in only one place - either in cs-etm.c or cs-etm-decoder.c but not in both. It might be worth trying to do the implementation in cs-etm.c since there is already a lot of packet flow intelligence happening there. > > Regards, > Mathieu > > > static int cs_etm__sample(struct cs_etm_queue *etmq) > > { > > struct cs_etm_auxtrace *etm = etmq->etm; > > @@ -1100,6 +1137,8 @@ static int cs_etm__run_decoder(struct cs_etm_queue *etmq) > > */ > > break; > > > > + cs_etm__fixup_flags(etmq); > > + > > switch (etmq->packet->sample_type) { > > case CS_ETM_RANGE: > > /* > > -- > > 2.7.4 > >

Agree. cs-etm.c has more context info than cs-etm-decoder.c, will try to refactor in single place in cs-etm.c. [...] Thanks, Leo Yan

We have prepared the flags in the packet structure, so need to copy the related value into sample structure thus perf tool can facilitate sample flags. The PREV_PACKET contains the branch instruction flags and PACKET actually contains the flags for next branch instruction. So this patch is to set sample flags with 'etmq->prev_packet->flags'. This patch includes three fixing up for sample flags based on the packets context: - If the packet is exception packet or exception return packet, update the previous packet for exception specific flags; - If there has TRACE_ON or TRACE_OFF packet in the middle of instruction packets, this indicates the trace is discontinuous, so append the flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_END to the previous packet to indicate the trace has been ended; - If one instruction packet is behind TRACE_OFF packet, this instruction is restarting trace packet. So set flag PERF_IP_FLAG_TRACE_START to TRACE_OFF packet if one, this flag isn't used by TRACE_OFF packet but used to indicate trace restarting when generate sample.
