    perf sched: Fix record failure when CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is not set · b0f00855
    Yang Jihong authored
    The tracepoints trace_sched_stat_{wait, sleep, iowait} are not exposed to user
    if CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS is not set, "perf sched record" records the three events.
    As a result, the command fails.
    
    Before:
    
      #perf sched record sleep 1
      event syntax error: 'sched:sched_stat_wait'
                           \___ unknown tracepoint
    
      Error:  File /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_stat_wait not found.
      Hint:   Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
    
      Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
    
       Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
          or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
    
          -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
    
    Solution:
      Check whether schedstat tracepoints are exposed. If no, these events are not recorded.
    
    After:
      # perf sched record sleep 1
      [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
      [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.163 MB perf.data (1091 samples) ]
      # perf sched report
      run measurement overhead: 4736 nsecs
      sleep measurement overhead: 9059979 nsecs
      the run test took 999854 nsecs
      the sleep test took 8945271 nsecs
      nr_run_events:        716
      nr_sleep_events:      785
      nr_wakeup_events:     0
      ...
