Vince reports a worrying issue: | so I was tracking down some odd behavior in the perf_fuzzer which turns | out to be because perf_even_open() sometimes returns 0 (indicating a file | descriptor of 0) even though as far as I can tell stdin is still open. ... and further the cause: | error is triggered if aux_sample_size has non-zero value. | | seems to be this line in kernel/events/core.c: | | if (perf_need_aux_event(event) && !perf_get_aux_event(event, group_leader)) | goto err_locked; | | (note, err is never set) This seems to be a thinko in commit:ab43762ef0("perf: Allow normal events to output AUX data") ... and we should probably return -EINVAL here, as this should only happen when the new event is mis-configured or does not have a compatible aux_event group leader.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
