perf evsel: Handle ENOMEM for perf_event_max_stack + PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN
When the kernel allows tweaking perf_event_max_stack and the event being setup has PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN in its perf_event_attr.sample_type, tell the user that tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack may solve the problem. Before: # echo 32000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack # perf record -g usleep 1 Error: The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 12 (Cannot allocate memory) for event (cycles:ppp). /bin/dmesg may provide additional information. No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured? # After: # echo 64000 > /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack # perf record -g usleep 1 Error: Not enough memory to setup event with callchain. Hint: Try tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack Hint: Current value: 64000 # Suggested-by: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Brendan Gregg <brendan.d.gregg@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Milian Wolff <milian.wolff@kdab.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-ebv0orelj1s1ye857vhb82ov@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
