Hi,

I am getting started with perf and have a couple of questions.

* Does the version of perf being used need to be built from the source
for the running kernel, or is it supported to use a build from a newer
kernel source? I am currently running perf built from 3.9.4 kernel
sources on a machine running kernel 2.6.32.

* I am getting event output with a specific `perf stat` invocation,
but when I run the same invocation under `perf record`, `perf report`
complains "The perf.data file has no samples". Why would that be? The
invocation looks like this:

perf record -e 
cache-misses,page-faults,minor-faults,major-faults,cpu-migrations,L1-dcache-load-misses,L1-dcache-store-misses,L1-icache-load-misses,LLC-load-misses,LLC-store-misses,dTLB-load-misses,dTLB-store-misses,iTLB-load-misses
-- {program} {arg} {arg} ... {arg}


Any info/advice is appreciated.

Thanks.
Andy
