I ran into a few strange issues today using a new perf tool (3.0-rcX)
against a 2.6.38 based kernel. Basic things seem to work:
# perf record -aR -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.443 MB perf.data (~19334 samples) ]
But:
# perf record -agR -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.558 MB perf.data (~68077 samples) ]
Can't find id 9's machine
Found 1 unknown events!
Is this an older tool processing a perf.data file generated by a more
recent tool?
If that is not the case, consider reporting to [email protected].
I couldn't tell if this is kernel/user space incompatibility or tighter
error checking in the new perf tool. Before I start digging further,
thought I'd ask if this combination is supported. The error message
above doesn't ask me:
Are you using an old kernel?
