[PATCH v2] perf callchain: Return directly when use '--call-graph dwarf' under !HAVE_DWARF_SUPPORT
From: Tiezhu Yang
Date: Mon Dec 14 2020 - 20:37:16 EST
DWARF register mappings have not been defined for some architectures,
at least for mips, so we can print an error message and then return
directly when use '--call-graph dwarf'.
E.g. without this patch:
[root@linux perf]# ./perf record --call-graph dwarf cd
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 89 (Function not implemented) for event (cycles).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
With this patch:
[root@linux perf]# ./perf record --call-graph dwarf cd
DWARF is not supported for architecture mips64
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
--call-graph <record_mode[,record_size]>
setup and enables call-graph (stack chain/backtrace):
record_mode: call graph recording mode (fp|dwarf|lbr)
record_size: if record_mode is 'dwarf', max size of stack recording (<bytes>)
default: 8192 (bytes)
Default: fp
