vtune: Error: amplxe-perf:
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-4F-1
Error:
No permission to enable CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD event.
 
You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.
 
Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
which controls use of the performance events system by
unprivileged users (without CAP_SYS_ADMIN).
 
The current value is -1:
 
-1: Allow use of (almost) all events by all users
Ignore mlock limit after perf_event_mlock_kb without CAP_IPC_LOCK
>= 0: Disallow ftrace function tracepoint by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
Disallow raw tracepoint access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 1: Disallow CPU event access by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
>= 2: Disallow kernel profiling by users without CAP_SYS_ADMIN
 
To make this setting permanent, edit /etc/sysctl.conf too, e.g.:
 
kernel.perf_event_paranoid = -1
 

vtune: Error: Preliminary validation of the requested events failed.
aps Error: Cannot run the collection.
 
 
as you can see, the value is still -1 (most free access) but still generating this error.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Intel Analyzers Forum.

Could you please share the below information for better understanding of the issue and to debug it from our end:

  1. VTune version
  2. Log file after running self-checker Script self_check.py which will be available in <vtune-install-dir>/bin64

Also , this issue might be due to the sampling drivers. Please follow the below document to build and install sampling drivers and try again.

Hi,


I assume that your issue is resolved. If you need any additional information, please post a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored by Intel.


Thanks,
