Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix missing feature check for inherit + SAMPLE_READ
Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 23:59:44 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251111075944.2328021-1-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
It should also have PERF_SAMPLE_TID to enable inherit and PERF_SAMPLE_READ
on recent kernels. Not having _TID makes the feature check wrongly detect
the inherit and _READ support.
It was reported that the following command failed due to the error in
the missing feature check on Intel SPR machines.
$ perf record -e '{cpu/mem-loads-aux/S,cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=3/PS}' -- ls
Error:
Failure to open event 'cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=3/PS' on PMU 'cpu' which will be removed.
Invalid event (cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=3/PS) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.
Fixes: 3b193a57baf15c468 ("perf tools: Detect missing kernel features properly")
