When users set the parameter '-F' to specify frequency for Arm SPE, the tool reports error: perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 Error: Invalid event (arm_spe_0//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'. The output logs are confused and it does not give the correct reminding. Arm SPE does not support frequency setting given it adopts a statistical based approach. Alternatively, Arm SPE supports setting period. This commit adds a for frequency setting. It reports error and reminds users to set period instead. After: perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1 Arm SPE: Frequency is not supported. Set period with -c option or PMU parameter (-e arm_spe_0/period=NUM/).

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.
