Subject: Re: EeePC 900 reboots/hangs when using using perf -a -f -g

Hi Frederic,

Sorry I'm not quite sure how I missed your reply - I've only just
noticed it:

I was checking with 2.6.36-rc4. I have just checked again with a recent
tip:/perf/core (66a301c380d4e463424db572b348de4913ec191a) and the
problem can still be reliably triggered.

I've narrowed the steps to cause the problem too. Running
perf record -a -f -g "sleep 5s"
and then doing
echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/eeepc/brightness
will reliably trigger the problem (on this EeePC 900 the brightness
controls are provided by the eeepc-laptop driver).

One other thing to note is that I am building perf on a Fedora 12 system
and running the binary on an Ubuntu 10.04 system. I build perf
statically and at the during compilation the following is printed:
$ LDFLAGS=-static make
Makefile:568: newt not found, disables TUI support. Please install newt-devel or libnewt-dev

Which is strange as RPM reports the following:

$ rpm -qa *elf* | sort
elfutils-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-devel-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-devel-static-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-libelf-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-libelf-devel-static-0.148-1.fc12.i686
elfutils-libs-0.148-1.fc12.i686

So I build a dynamically linked perf.
