From 0089fa9831f3752869143c7928adb94ac6353085 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Sat, 20 Oct 2012 16:33:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf record: Fix mmap error output condition The mmap_pages default value is not power of 2 (UINT_MAX). Together with perf_evlist__mmap function returning error value different from EPERM, we get misleading error message: "--mmap_pages/-m value must be a power of two." Fixing this by adding extra check for UINT_MAX value for this error condition.
