From 38f6ae1e1b0d5e8b0a95f88c1eee2c5e8b001631 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Anton Blanchard Date: Fri, 2 Dec 2011 09:38:33 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] perf stat: Failure with "Operation not supported" perf stat is failing on PowerPC: Error: open_counter returned with 95 (Operation not supported). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. Fatal: Not all events could be opened. commit 370faf1dd046 (perf stat: Fail softly on unsupported events) added a check for failure returning ENOENT, but the POWER backend returns EOPNOTSUPP. It looks like alpha, blackfin and mips do the same. With the patch applied, things work as expected: Performance counter stats for '/bin/true': 0.362176 task-clock # 0.623 CPUs utilized 0 context-switches # 0.000 M/sec 0 CPU-migrations # 0.000 M/sec 28 page-faults # 0.077 M/sec 1,677,020 cycles # 4.630 GHz stalled-cycles-frontend stalled-cycles-backend 431,220 instructions # 0.26 insns per cycle 101,889 branches # 281.325 M/sec 4,145 branch-misses # 4.07% of all branches 0.000581361 seconds time elapsed Cc: # 3.0+ Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20111202093833.5fef7226@kryten Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/builtin-stat.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c index 7d98676808d8..955930e0a5c3 100644 --- a/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c +++ b/tools/perf/builtin-stat.c @@ -463,7 +463,8 @@ static int run_perf_stat(int argc __used, const char **argv) list_for_each_entry(counter, &evsel_list->entries, node) { if (create_perf_stat_counter(counter, first) < 0) { - if (errno == EINVAL || errno == ENOSYS || errno == ENOENT) { + if (errno == EINVAL || errno == ENOSYS || + errno == ENOENT || errno == EOPNOTSUPP) { if (verbose) ui__warning("%s event is not supported by the kernel.\n", event_name(counter)); -- 2.20.1
