From: Seeteena Thoufeek <s1see...@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
'perf script' fails to report hardware cache events (PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE)
where as 'perf report' shows the samples. Fix it. Ex,
# perf record -e L1-dcache-loads ./a.out
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.008 MB perf.data (11 samples)]
Before patch:
# perf script | wc -l
0
After patch:
# perf script | wc -l
11
