Subject: [PATCH 4.18 088/158] perf evlist: Fix error out while applying initial delay and LBR
4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@...ux.intel.com>
[ Upstream commit 95035c5e167ae6e740b1ddd30210ae0eaf39a5db ]
'perf record' will error out if both --delay and LBR are applied.
For example:
# perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2
Error:
dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts.
Try 'perf stat'
#
A dummy event is added implicitly for initial delay, which has the same
configurations as real sampling events. The dummy event is a software
event. If LBR is configured, perf must error out.
The dummy event will only be used to track PERF_RECORD_MMAP while perf
waits for the initial delay to enable the real events. The BRANCH_STACK
bit can be safely cleared for the dummy event.
After applying the patch:
# perf record -D 1000 -a -e cycles -j any -- sleep 2
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.054 MB perf.data (828 samples) ]
