Subject: [PATCH 14/17] perf record: Change warning for missing sysfs entry to debug
Date: Fri, 13 Apr 2018 11:01:08 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180413140111.25313-15-acme@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180413140111.25313-1-acme@kernel.org>

From: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com>

Using perf on 4.16.0 kernel on s390 shows this warning:

   failed: can't open node sysfs data

each time I run command perf record ... for example:

  [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rB0000 -- sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  failed: can't open node sysfs data
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
  [root@s35lp76 perf]#

It turns out commit e2091cedd51bf ("perf tools: Add MEM_TOPOLOGY feature
to perf data file") tries to open directory named /sys/devices/system/node/
which does not exist on s390.

This is the call stack:
 __cmd_record
 +---> perf_session__write_header
       +---> perf_header__adds_write
             +---> do_write_feat
	           +---> write_mem_topology
		         +---> build_mem_topology
			       prints warning

The issue starts in do_write_feat() which unconditionally loops over all
features and now includes HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY and calls write_mem_topology().

Function record__init_features() at the beginning of __cmd_record() sets
all features and then turns off some of them.

Fix this by changing the warning to a level 2 debug output statement.

So it is only shown when debug level 2 or higher is set.
