File perf-evsel-Improve-AMD-IBS-Instruction-Based-Sampling-error-handling-messages.patch of Package perf.27729
From: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com> Date: Tue, 22 Mar 2022 15:15:15 -0700 Subject: perf evsel: Improve AMD IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling) error handling messages Git-commit: ab0809af0bee88b689ba289ec8c40aa2be3a17ec References: jsc#SLE-24578 (dependent patch) Signed-off-by: Tony Jones <tonyj@suse.de> Improve the error message returned on failed perf_event_open() on AMD systems when using IBS (Instruction-Based Sampling). Output of executing 'perf record -e ibs_op// true' as a non root user BEFORE this patch (perf will add the 'u' modifier at the end to exclude kernel/hypervisor sampling): The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument)for event (ibs_op//u). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Output after: AMD IBS can't exclude kernel events. Try running at a higher privilege level. Output of executing 'sudo perf record -e ibs_op// true' BEFORE this patch: Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (ibs_op//). /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information. Output after: Error: Invalid event (ibs_op//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'. Folowing the suggestion: $ sudo perf record -a -e ibs_op// true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.664 MB perf.data (194 samples) ] $ Signed-off-by: Kim Phillips <kim.phillips@amd.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: João Martins <joao.m.martins@oracle.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Cc: Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Rafael J.
