[BUG] perf: intel_pt won't display kernel function

[Jiri Olsa]

hi,
perf script --call-trace stop working for me recently,
and displays only user space functions

I bisected that to:
  7b612e291a5a perf tools: Synthesize PERF_RECORD_* for loaded BPF programs

data from following comands will display user space functions only:
  # perf-with-kcore record pt -e intel_pt// -- ls
  # perf-with-kcore script pt --call-trace

when I disable the bpf synthesizing (patch below), kernel functions are back

I guess the new events mess up with intel_pt decoder somehow


thanks,
jirka
