I'm confused, you first said it happens with new tools on older kernel.

Can you tell us which combination of kernel/user raises the error? and
which error.


perf-3.0 + 2.6.38

perf record -agR gives:

Can't find id 9's machine
Found 1 unknown events!

perf-3.0 + 2.6.32

perf record -ag
perf script

samples have bogus timestamps

perf-3.0 + 2.6.32

perf record -agR
perf script

error: Samples do not contain timestamps

perf-3.0 + any kernel

perf record -agT
perf script

is happy everywhere. Thanks!
