If we detect oprofile daemon process running, we now display following message for EBUSY error: $ perf record ls Error: The PMU counters are busy/taken by another profiler. We found oprofile daemon running, please stop it and try again. In case oprofiled was not detected the current error message stays: $ perf record ls Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 16 (Device or resource busy) for event (cycles). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? Also changing PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC detection code not to display error in case of EBUSY error, as it currently does: $ perf record ls Error: perf_event_open(..., PERF_FLAG_FD_CLOEXEC) failed with unexpected error 16 (Device or resource busy) perf_event_open(..., 0) failed unexpectedly with error 16 (Device or resource busy) The PMU counters are busy/taken by another profiler. We found oprofile daemon running, please stop it and try again.
