While testing this I noticed I failed to notice that after adding all
these new user meta events we have:
[acme@zoo linux]$ perf stat -e cycles record usleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':
1,049,367 cycles
0.002616357 seconds time elapsed
[acme@zoo linux]$ oldperf report --stdio
0xf0 [0x28]: failed to process type: 73
Error:
failed to process sample
# To display the perf.data header info, please use
# --header/--header-only options.
#
[acme@zoo linux]$
While it should just have ignored the user meta events if doesn't
support and state that the perf.data file had no samples :-\
So I think I'll make perf_session__process_user_event() return 0
for events it doesn't support, just adding a pr_debug(), ok?
This will be left to after processing your current batch, just need to
remember to do it before adding more user meta events.
