[PATCH 02/25] perf stat record: Add record command - adds record command that creates empty perf.data [PATCH 03/25] perf stat record: Initialize record features - adds FEATURES initialization for stat data [PATCH 04/25] perf stat record: Synthesize stat record data - adds meta data [PATCH 05/25] perf stat record: Store events IDs in perf data file - adds event IDs ... you get proper warning right after patch 3/25, where we store STAT feature bit and properly check it when opening perf.data I can merge patch 2 and 3 to get the proper warning from begining.. but that'd be bigger patch ;-) thanks, jirka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
