Subject: perf top: Error handling for counter creation should parallel perf-record
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1a31fc904f1c897e4aaf7c3176e6aafa49f5d395;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf top: Error handling for counter creation should parallel perf-record

5a7ed29 fixed up perf-record but not perf-top. Similar argument holds
for it -- fallback to PMU only if it does not exist and handle invalid
attributes separately.
