From 46ec69add5df60310147ce3ce01a662053d82a1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Tue, 12 Aug 2014 18:04:30 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix probing the kernel API with cpu-wide events Fall back to probing with the current pid if cpu-wide probing fails. This primarily affects the setting of comm_exec flag when the user is un-privileged and /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid > 0. The change to comm_exec can be observed by using -vv with perf record and a kernel that supports comm_exec.
