Subject: [PATCH v5 8/8] perf tools: Check write_backward during evlist config
Date: Wed, 25 May 2016 05:03:43 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464152623-171824-9-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464152623-171824-1-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com>
Before this patch, when using overwritable ring buffer on an old
kernel, error message is misleading:
# ~/perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:*/overwrite/ -a
Error:
The raw_syscalls:sys_enter event is not supported.
This patch output clear error message to tell user his/her kernel
is too old:
# ~/perf record -m 1 -e raw_syscalls:*/overwrite/ -a
Reading from overwrite event is not supported by this kernel
Error:
The raw_syscalls:sys_enter event is not supported.
