From 1a31fc904f1c897e4aaf7c3176e6aafa49f5d395 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ahern Date: Sun, 29 Jul 2012 20:53:03 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] 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.
