From c286c419c784c238cd699be37fec7a9acc30d89f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Mon, 28 Mar 2011 09:50:11 -0300 Subject: perf tools: Fixup exit path when not able to open events We have to deal with the TUI mode in perf top, so that we don't end up with a garbled screen when, say, a non root user on a machine with a paranoid setting (the default) tries to use 'perf top'. Introduce a ui__warning_paranoid() routine shared by top and record that tells the user the valid values for /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid.
