Leo Yan e50b291fbb perf arm-spe: Report error if set frequency
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.
