      perf: Fix callchain hit bad cast on ascii display · d425de54
      Frederic Weisbecker authored
      ipchain__fprintf_graph() casts the number of hits in a branch as an
      int, which means we lose its highests bits.
      
      This results in meaningless number of callchain hits in perf.data
      that have a high number of hits recorded, typically those that have
      callchain branches hits appearing more than INT_MAX. This happens
      easily as those are pondered by the event period.

      watchdog: Improve initialisation error message and documentation · 55142374
      Ben Hutchings authored
      The error message 'NMI watchdog failed to create perf event...'
      does not make it clear that this is a fatal error for the
      watchdog.  It also currently prints the error value as a
      pointer, rather than extracting the error code with PTR_ERR().
      Fix that.
      
      Add a note to the description of the 'nowatchdog' kernel
      parameter to associate it with this message.
