Using perf on 4.16.0 kernel on s390 shows this warning:
failed: can't open node sysfs data
each time I run command perf record ... for example:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf record -e rB0000 -- sleep 1
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
failed: can't open node sysfs data
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (4 samples) ]
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
It turns out commit e2091cedd5 ("perf tools: Add MEM_TOPOLOGY feature
to perf data file") tries to open directory named /sys/devices/system/node/
which does not exist on s390.
This is the call stack:
__cmd_record
+---> perf_session__write_header
+---> perf_header__adds_write
+---> do_write_feat
+---> write_mem_topology
+---> build_mem_topology
prints warning
The issue starts in do_write_feat() which unconditionally loops over all
features and now includes HEADER_MEM_TOPOLOGY and calls write_mem_topology().
Function record__init_features() at the beginning of __cmd_record() sets
all features and then turns off some of them.
Fix this by changing the warning to a level 2 debug output statement.
So it is only shown when debug level 2 or higher is set.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
