[ Upstream commit f967140dfb7442e2db0868b03b961f9c59418a1b ]
Enable the sampling check in kernel/events/core.c::perf_event_open(),
which returns the more appropriate -EOPNOTSUPP.
BEFORE:
$ sudo perf record -a -e instructions,l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses true
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
With nothing relevant in dmesg.
AFTER:
$ sudo perf record -a -e instructions,l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses true
Error:
l3_request_g1.caching_l3_cache_accesses: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat'
Fixes: c43ca5091a37 ("perf/x86/amd: Add support for AMD NB and L2I "uncore" counters")
