Bug#906728: linux-perf-4.17: "perf report" fails with "failed to process sample"
Package: linux-perf-4.17
Version: 4.17.14-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
fairly frequently, after recording perf data with
perf record -F99 --call-graph dwarf [...]
when I then immediately do
perf report
I get an error message saying
failed to process sample
0x44098e [0x8]: failed to process type: 68
making the recorded data unusable (at least so far I found no way to use it).
All I can do is record again, maybe with lower frequency, and hope that this time the problematic event does not happen...
I have rebooted the machine since the last kernel upgrade, so the perf tool and the running kernel should match exactly.
Kind regards,
Ralf
