Current 'perf report' fails to process a pipe input when --task or
--stat options are used. This is because they reset all the tool
callbacks and fails to find a matching event for a sample.
When pipe input is used, the event info is passed via ATTR records so it
needs to handle that operation. Otherwise the following error occurs.
Note, -14 (= -EFAULT) comes from evlist__parse_sample():
# perf record -a -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
Can't parse sample, err = -14
0x271044 [0x38]: failed to process type: 9
Error:
failed to process sample
#
Committer testing:
Before:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
Can't parse sample, err = -14
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
0x1350 [0x30]: failed to process type: 9
Error:
failed to process sample
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]
$
After:
$ perf record -o- sleep 1 | perf report -i- --stat
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.000 MB - ]

TOTAL events: 41
COMM events: 2 ( 4.9%)

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
