From f11cfc6f294dbd83b0d58037404df2bd16066238 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pekka Enberg Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 23:07:27 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] perf list: Show error if tracepoints not available Tracepoints are not visible in "perf list" on Fedora 19 because regular users have no permission to /sys/kernel/debug by default. Show an error message so that the user knows about it instead of assuming that tracepoints are not supported on the system.
