This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled perf tools: Fix misleading add event PMU debug message to the 5.17-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: perf-tools-fix-misleading-add-event-pmu-debug-messag.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.17 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 054690ef5608098db014d3455564f06eb98b9930 Author: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Apr 11 09:17:58 2022 +0300 perf tools: Fix misleading add event PMU debug message [ Upstream commit f034fc50d3c7d9385c20d505ab4cf56b8fd18ac7 ] Fix incorrect debug message: Attempting to add event pmu 'intel_pt' with '' that may result in non-fatal errors which always appears with perf record -vv and intel_pt e.g. perf record -vv -e intel_pt//u uname The message is incorrect because there will never be non-fatal errors. Suppress the message if the PMU is 'selectable' i.e. meant to be selected directly as an event.
