      perf stat: better error message for unsupported events · 5a3446bc
      David Ahern 提交于
      For unsupported events (e.g., H/W events when running in a VM)
      perf stat currently fails with the error message:
      
            Error: open_counter returned with 2 (No such file or directory).
          /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
      
            Fatal: Not all events could be opened.
      
      dmesg is of no help and it is not clear as to why it fails to
      open the counter. This patch changes the error message to
      
            Error: cache-misses event is not supported.
            Fatal: Not all events could be opened.

      perf, x86: P4 PMU - Fix unflagged overflows handling · 047a3772
      Cyrill Gorcunov 提交于
      Don found that P4 PMU reads CCCR register instead of counter
      itself (in attempt to catch unflagged event) this makes P4
      NMI handler to consume all NMIs it observes. So the other
      NMI users such as kgdb simply have no chance to get NMI
      on their hands.
      
      Side note: at moment there is no way to run nmi-watchdog
      together with perf tool. This is because both 'perf top' and
      nmi-watchdog use same event. So while nmi-watchdog reserves
      one event/counter for own needs there is no room for perf tool
      left (there is a way to disable nmi-watchdog on boot of course).
      
      Ming has tested this patch with the following results
      
       | 1. watchdog disabled
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot OK
       | perf works OK
       |
       | 2. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot hang
       |
       | 3. watchdog enabled, without patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 and do not run kgdb
       | tests on boot
       |
       | "perf top" partialy works
       |   cpu-cycles            no
       |   instructions          yes
       |   cache-references      no
       |   cache-misses          no
       |   branch-instructions   no
       |   branch-misses         yes
       |   bus-cycles            no
       |
       | 4. watchdog enabled, with patch perf-x86-p4-nmi-4 applied
       |
       | kgdb tests on boot OK
       | perf does not work, NMI "Dazed and confused" messages show up
       |
      
      Which means we still have problems with p4 box due to 'unknown'
      nmi happens but at least it should fix kgdb test cases.
