Subject: [PATCH 3/8] perf top: Add error message for EMFILE
Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2012 02:25:27 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1325957132-10600-3-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1325957132-10600-1-git-send-email-namhyung@gmail.com>
When a user tries to open so many events, perf_event_open syscall
may fail with EMFILE. Provide advise for that case.
