Subject: [PATCH] Mention EINTR for perf_event_open
Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2020 15:57:18 -0800	[thread overview]

Somewhat surprisingly, perf_event_open can fail with EINTR when trying
to enable perf reporting for a uprobe that's already been configured
for use with ftrace. Mention this error in the man page.
