Hi
What is the distro you are using? I observed the same issue on s390 but this was fixed for fedora33 somehow. The error just went away after a dnf update....
[root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 33 (Thirty Three) [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -F 68 68: PE file support : Ok [root@m35lp76 perf]#
However on my fedora32 machine it still fails: [root@t35lp46 perf]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 32 (Thirty Two) [root@t35lp46 perf]# ./perf test -F 68 68: PE file support : FAILED! [root@t35lp46 perf]#
Note that I am running the same kernel on both machines: linux 5.10.0rc7 downloaded this morning.
