From e9add8bac6c69edb4bf391e537faa659b2ed70d2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Olsa Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2018 11:08:19 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] perf evsel: Disable write_backward for leader sampling group events .. and other related fields that do not need to be enabled for events that have sampling leader. It fixes the perf top usage Ingo reported broken: # perf top -e '{cycles,msr/aperf/}:S' The 'msr/aperf/' event is configured for write_back sampling, which is not allowed by the MSR PMU, so it fails to create the event. Adjusting related attr test.
