[PATCH 1/2] perf arch: Make the default get_cpuid() return compatible error

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Dec 11 2019 - 08:09:24 EST


Some of the functions calling get_cpuid() propagate back the error it
returns, and all are using errno (positive) values, make the weak
default get_cpuid() function return ENOSYS to be consistent and to allow
checking if this is an arch not providing this function or if a provided
one is having trouble getting the cpuid, to decide if the warning should
be provided to the user or just a debug message should be emitted.
