Architectures are expected to know if AUX area sampling is supported by
the hardware. Add a function perf_can_aux_sample() which will determine
whether the kernel supports it.
Committer notes:
I reported that this message was taking place on a kernel without the
required bits:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 7 (Argument list too long) for event (branch-misses:u).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
Adrian sent a patch addressing it, with this explanation:
----
perf_can_aux_sample_size() always returned true because it did not pass
the attribute size to sys_perf_event_open, nor correctly check the
return value and errno.
----
After applying it I get, later in the series, when --aux-sample is
added:
# perf record --aux-sample -e '{intel_pt//u,branch-misses:u}'
AUX area sampling is not supported by kernel
