RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Xiaoqing Wei 2012-03-23 08:17:44 UTC 
Description of problem:
perf hang during report data collected by   "perf kvm --guest record -p $qemu_pid"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perf-2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
kernel-2.6.32-251.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot a qemu-kvm guest
2. get the qemu_pid by "ps -C qemu-kvm"
3. perf kvm --guest record -p $qemu_pid
4. ctrl+c to finish the collecting
5. perf report -i perf.data.guest  ## that file generated by perf record
  
Actual results:
perf hangs, ctrl+c unable to end the process, can be killed by "kill $perf_pid"

Expected results:
perf report works well, not hang.

Additional info:

perf report -i perf.data.host ## works well
## where the file generated by "perf kvm --host record -p qemu_pid"




Host info:
processor	: 3
vendor_id	: GenuineIntel
cpu family	: 6
model		: 15
model name	: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU            5130  @ 2.00GHz

dmesg shows:

perf[5006]: segfault at 40 ip 000000000045617d sp 00007fff03fda020 error 4 in perf[400000+a5000]
Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2012-05-04 04:04:13 UTC 
Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.

Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Comment 4 Jiri Olsa 2012-08-29 11:04:30 UTC
