[PATCH 11/18] perf top: Error handling for counter creation should parallel perf-record

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Fri Aug 03 2012 - 10:05:26 EST


From: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx>

5a7ed29 fixed up perf-record but not perf-top. Similar argument holds
for it -- fallback to PMU only if it does not exist and handle invalid
attributes separately.
