Subject: [PATCH] perf tools: Fix ftrace:function event recording
Date: Thu, 13 Nov 2014 18:21:03 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1415899263-24820-1-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)

Following patch fails (-EINVAL) ftrace:function with enabled user
space callchains:
  cfa77bc4af2c perf: Disallow user-space callchains for function trace events

We need to follow in perf tool itself and explicitly set the
perf_event_attr::exclude_callchain_user flag for ftrace:function
event.
