Subject: [PATCH-REBASED 2/2] perf/core: change errno for sampling event not supported in hardware
Date: Mon, 30 May 2016 17:01:46 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1464607906-16012-3-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1464607906-16012-1-git-send-email-vgupta@synopsys.com>
This allows userspace to identify this case specifically from the
catch all error msg it prints currently.
This is an ABI change
Before
-------
| # perf record ls
| Error:
| The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 524 (Unknown error 524)
| for event (cycles:ppp).
| /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
| No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
Now
-------
| # perf record ls
| Error:
| PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
