[PATCH] perf record: Change warning for missing sysfs entry to debug

[Thomas Richter]

Using perf on 4.16.0 kernel on s390 shows warning
   failed: can't open node sysfs data
each time I run command perf record ... for example:

[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rB0000 -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
failed: can't open node sysfs data
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
[root@s35lp76 perf]#

It turns out commit e2091cedd51bf ("perf tools: Add MEM_TOPOLOGY
feature to perf data file") tries to open directory named
/sys/devices/system/node/ which does not exist on s390.

This is the call stack:
 __cmd_record
 +---> perf_session__write_header
       +---> perf_header__adds_write
             +---> do_write_feat
	           +---> write_mem_topology
		         +---> build_mem_topology
			       prints warning
The issue starts in do_write_feat() which unconditionally
loops over all features and now includes HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY and calls
write_mem_topology().
Function record__init_features() at the beginning of __cmd_record()
sets all features and then turns off some of them.

Fix this by changing the warning to a level 2 debug output statement.
So it is only shown when debug level 2 or higher is set.
