Revision e4fe5d7349e0b1c0d3da5b6b3e1efce591e85bd2 authored by Like Xu on 27 September 2021, 08:11:14 UTC, committed by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo on 27 September 2021, 12:39:30 UTC
An iostate use case like "perf iostat 0000:16,0000:97 -- ls" should be
implemented to work in system-wide mode to ensure that the output from
print_header() is consistent with the user documentation perf-iostat.txt,
rather than incorrectly assuming that the kernel does not support it:

 Error:
 The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) \
 for event (uncore_iio_0/event=0x83,umask=0x04,ch_mask=0xF,fc_mask=0x07/).
 /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

This error is easily fixed by assigning system-wide mode by default
for IOSTAT_RUN only when the target cpu_list is unspecified.

README
Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
