Subject: [PATCH 2/9] perf top: Fix annoying fallback message on older kernels
Date: Tue,  6 Mar 2018 14:23:36 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180306172343.16546-3-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180306172343.16546-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Kan Liang <Kan.liang@intel.com>

On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be
observed in 'perf top':

	┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐
	│fall back to non-overwrite mode│
	│                               │
	│                               │
	│Press any key...               │
	└───────────────────────────────┘

The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit
ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").

For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top'
will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message
using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.

The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug
message which is printed when running with -vv.
