Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Disallow -c and -F option at the same time
Date: Fri,  2 Apr 2021 18:40:20 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210402094020.28164-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)

It's confusing which one is effective when the both options are given.
The current code happens to use -c in this case but users might not be
aware of it.  We can change it to complain about that instead of
relying on the implicit priority.

Before:
  $ perf record -c 111111 -F 99 true
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data (8 samples) ]

  $ perf evlist -F
  cycles: sample_period=111111

After:
  $ perf record -c 111111 -F 99 true
  cannot set frequency and period at the same time

So this change can break existing usages, but I think it's rare to
have both options and it'd be better changing them.
