perf intel-pt: Refine kernel decoding only warning message
Stop the message displaying when user space is not being traced. Example: Prerequisites: sudo setcap "cap_sys_rawio,cap_sys_admin,cap_sys_ptrace,cap_syslog,cap_ipc_lock=ep" ~/bin/perf sudo chmod +r /proc/kcore Before: $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001 Warning: Intel Processor Trace decoding will not be possible except for kernel tracing! [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.838 MB perf.data ] After: $ perf record --no-switch-events --kcore -a -e intel_pt//k -- sleep 0.001 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 1.068 MB perf.data ] $ sudo chmod go-r /proc/kcore $ sudo setcap -r ~/bin/perf Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200528120859.21604-2-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
