perf evsel: Handle ENOMEM for perf_event_max_stack + PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN
When the kernel allows tweaking perf_event_max_stack and the event being
setup has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN in its perf_event_attr.sample_type, tell
the user that tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack may solve
the problem.
Before:
# echo 32000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# perf record -g usleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) for event (cycles:ppp).
/bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
#
After:
# echo 64000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
# perf record -g usleep 1
Error:
Not enough memory to setup event with callchain.
Hint: Try tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack
Hint: Current value: 64000
