    perf record: Force ignore_missing_thread for uid option · 23dc4f15
    Jiri Olsa authored
    Enable perf_evsel::ignore_missing_thread for -u option to ignore
    complete failure if any of the user's processes die between its
    enumeration and time we open the event.
    
    Committer notes:
    
    While doing a 'make -j4 allmodconfig' we sometimes get into the race:
    
    Before:
    
      # perf record -u acme
      Error:
      The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 3 (No such process) for event (cycles:ppp).
      /bin/dmesg may provide additional information.
      No CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS=y kernel support configured?
      #
    
    After:
    
      [root@jouet ~]# perf record -u acme
      WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 9888
      WARNING: Ignored open failure for pid 18059
      [root@jouet ~]#
    
    Which is an improvement, with the races not preventing the remaining threads
    for the specified user from being monitored, but the message probably needs
    further clarification.
