Subject: [PATCH 4.20 083/127] perf intel-pt: Fix error with config term "pt=0"
4.20-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
[ Upstream commit 1c6f709b9f96366cc47af23c05ecec9b8c0c392d ]
Users should never use 'pt=0', but if they do it may give a meaningless
error:
$ perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for
event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).
Fix that by forcing 'pt=1'.
Committer testing:
# perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (intel_pt/pt=0/u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
# perf record -e intel_pt/pt=0/u uname
pt=0 doesn't make sense, forcing pt=1
Linux
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data ]
