[ Upstream commit 73978332572ccf5e364c31e9a70ba953f8202b46 ] 'perf c2c' scans read/write accesses and tries to find false sharing cases, so when the events it wants were not asked for or ended up not taking place, we get no histograms. So do not try to display entry details if there's not any. Currently this ends up in crash: $ perf c2c report # then press 'd' perf: Segmentation fault $ Committer testing: Before: Record a perf.data file without events of interest to 'perf c2c report', then call it and press 'd': # perf record sleep 1 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (6 samples) ] # perf c2c report perf: Segmentation fault -------- backtrace -------- perf[0x5b1d2a] /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x346df)[0x7fcb566e36df] perf[0x46fcae] perf[0x4a9f1e] perf[0x4aa220] perf(main+0x301)[0x42c561] /lib64/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xe9)[0x7fcb566cff29] perf(_start+0x29)[0x42c999] # After the patch the segfault doesn't take place, a follow up patch to tell the user why nothing changes when 'd' is pressed would be good.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
