SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/3] perf tools: Put proper period for for samples without PERIOD sample_type

All 3 patches look good. But I found something strange. When we
setup/config evsel attrs following code is used:

util/evsel.c::perf_evsel__config()

/*
* We default some events to a 1 default interval. But keep
* it a weak assumption overridable by the user.
*/
if (!attr->sample_period || (opts->user_freq != UINT_MAX &&
opts->user_interval != ULLONG_MAX)) {
if (opts->freq) {
perf_evsel__set_sample_bit(evsel, PERIOD);
attr->freq = 1;
attr->sample_freq = opts->freq;
} else {
attr->sample_period = opts->default_interval;
}
}


But shouldn't it be "||" instead of "&&" for checking
user_freq/interval? The opts->freq was setup by code below

util/record.c::record_opts__config_freq()

bool user_freq = opts->user_freq != UINT_MAX;
unsigned int max_rate;

if (opts->user_interval != ULLONG_MAX)
opts->default_interval = opts->user_interval;
if (user_freq)
opts->freq = opts->user_freq;

/*
* User specified count overrides default frequency.
*/
if (opts->default_interval)
opts->freq = 0;
else if (opts->freq) {
opts->default_interval = opts->freq;
} else {
pr_err("frequency and count are zero, aborting\n");
return -1;
}


Thanks,
Namhyung
