I mentioned in a previous post that "perf archive" command is not recognized on Ubuntu 12.04 (perf version 3.2.30) although it is listed in the --help output. I wanted to see if the issue was fixed in a later version so I tried Ubuntu 12.10 (perf version 3.5.5) and it has the same problems: archive is not recognized as a valid command, and other commands fail as well:
$ perf timechart record sleep 2 invalid or unsupported event: 'power:cpu_frequency' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Another command that doesn't work: $ perf lock record sleep 2 invalid or unsupported event: 'lock:lock_acquire' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events This makes me think that either perf is mostly broken in the new versions or something is wrong on my machine (although installation went smoothly). I installed perf by doing: $ sudo apt-get install linux-tools-common $ sudo apt-get install linux-tools-3.5.0-17 Can somebody shed some light on this please?
