perf record: Change warning for missing sysfs entry to debug
Using perf on 4.16.0 kernel on s390 shows this warning: failed: can't open node sysfs data each time I run command perf record ... for example: [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rB0000 -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] failed: can't open node sysfs data [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (4 samples) ] [root@s35lp76 perf]# It turns out commit e2091cedd51bf ("perf tools: Add MEM_TOPOLOGY feature to perf data file") tries to open directory named /sys/devices/system/node/ which does not exist on s390. This is the call stack: __cmd_record +---> perf_session__write_header +---> perf_header__adds_write +---> do_write_feat +---> write_mem_topology +---> build_mem_topology prints warning The issue starts in do_write_feat() which unconditionally loops over all features and now includes HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY and calls write_mem_topology(). Function record__init_features() at the beginning of __cmd_record() sets all features and then turns off some of them. Fix this by changing the warning to a level 2 debug output statement. So it is only shown when debug level 2 or higher is set.
