sys_perf_event_open failed, error -22
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for
event (topdown-retiring).
The reason of error is that the events are regrouped and
topdown-retiring event is moved to closely after the slots event and
topdown-retiring event needs to do the sampling, but Intel PMU driver
doesn't support to sample topdown metrics events.
For topdown metrics events, it just requires to be in a group which has
slots event as leader. It doesn't require topdown metrics event must be
closely after slots event. Thus it's a overkill to move topdown metrics
event closely after slots event in events regrouping and furtherly cause
the above issue.
Thus don't move topdown metrics events forward if they are already in a
group.

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 reStructuredText 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.
