And then retry every three months when a new perf comes out. Part of the problem is that programing style with excessive asserting. If you add that many asserts you also need to keep up with the input data. It's the opposite of "be liberal what you accept" Right now it still bombs out for various records that newer perf adds. I send some patches for autofdo to hack around that, but they were not quite enough: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2015-04/msg00271.html -Andi -- ak@linux.intel.com -- Speaking for myself only. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
