Since commit0a892c1c94("perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis"), a dummy event is added to capture mmaps. But if we run perf-record as, # perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 Error: dummy:HG: PMU Hardware doesn't support sampling/overflow-interrupts. Try 'perf stat' The issue is, if we enable the extended regs (-IXMM0), but the pmu->capabilities is not set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS, the kernel will return -EOPNOTSUPP error. See following code: /* in kernel/events/core.c */ static int perf_try_init_event(struct pmu *pmu, struct perf_event *event) { .... if (!(pmu->capabilities & PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS) && has_extended_regs(event)) ret = -EOPNOTSUPP; .... } For software dummy event, the PMU should not be set with PERF_PMU_CAP_EXTENDED_REGS. But unfortunately now, the dummy event has possibility to be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. In evsel__config, /* tools/perf/util/evsel.c */ if (opts->sample_intr_regs) { attr->sample_regs_intr = opts->sample_intr_regs; } If we use -IXMM0, the attr>sample_regs_intr will be set with PERF_REG_EXTENDED_MASK bit. It doesn't make sense to set attr->sample_regs_intr for a software dummy event. This patch adds dummy event checking before setting attr->sample_regs_intr and attr->sample_regs_user. After: # ./perf record -e cycles:p -IXMM0 -a -- sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.413 MB perf.data (45 samples) ] Committer notes: Adrian said this when providing his Acked-by: " This is fine. It will not break PT. no_aux_samples is useful for evsels that have been added by the code rather than requested by the user. For old kernels PT adds sched_switch tracepoint to track context switches (before the current context switch event was added) and having auxiliary sample information unnecessarily uses up space in the perf buffer.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
