From: David Ahern Date: Tue, 8 May 2012 16:49:49 +0000 (-0600) Subject: perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=40491eaa;p=linux-beck.git perf top: Update event name when falling back to cpu-clock The 'perf top' command falls back to cpu-clock if the H/W cycles event is not supported, but the event name is not updated leading to a misleading header: PerfTop: 8 irqs/sec kernel:75.0% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], ... Update the event name when the event type is changed so that the header displays correctly: PerfTop: 794 irqs/sec kernel:100.0% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cpu-clock], ...
