Subject: [PATCH v1 2/8] perf script: Improve error msg when no first/last sample time found
Date: Wed, 10 Jan 2018 23:00:27 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1515596433-24653-3-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1515596433-24653-1-git-send-email-yao.jin@linux.intel.com>
The following message will be returned to user when executing
'perf script --time' if perf data file doesn't contain the
first/last sample time.
"HINT: no first/last sample time found in perf data.
Please use latest perf binary to execute 'perf record'
(if '--buildid-all' is enabled, needs to set '--timestamp-boundary')."
