Public bug reported: perf in linux-tools-common_4.8.0-27.29 seems to be compiled without auxtrace support. This prevents perf from using Intel Processor Trace (PT) or Branch Trace Store (BTS). Unfortunately, rather than indicating that auxtrace is missing, perf just records no samples: # grep -c intel_pt /proc/cpuinfo 8 # perf list | grep intel_pt # grep intel_pt /proc/cpuinfo # perf record -e intel_pt// -- ls ... # perf script
I am able to successfully to use PT on my machine if I compile perf myself. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: perf in linux-tools-common_4.8.0-27.29 seems to be compiled without auxtrace support.
