I followed builtin-trace.c and builtin-sched.c.

Well, if you run perf-record without -R, like:

 # ./perf record -a -R -f -e power:* -e sched:sched_wakeup -e sched:sched_switch

And then run perf-timechart, you'll run into that warning.

But sure, if we always run "perf timechart rec" before "perf timechart",
we never get there.
