Adding perf_evsel::ignore_missing_cpu_thread bool. When set true, it allows perf to ignore error of missing pid of perf event syscall. We remove missing thread id from the thread_map, so the rest of the processing like ioctl and mmap won't get disturbed with -1 fd. The reason for supporting this is to ease up monitoring group of pids, that 'disappear' before perf opens their event. This currently leads perf to report error and exit and makes perf record's -u option unusable under certain setup. With this change we will allow this race and ignore such failure with following warning: WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 8605 Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161213074622.GA3084@krava Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
