From: Kan Liang <Kan.liang@intel.com>
On older (e.g. v4.4) kernels, an annoying fallback message can be observed in 'perf top':
┌─Warning:──────────────────────┐ │fall back to non-overwrite mode│ │ │ │ │ │Press any key... │ └───────────────────────────────┘
The 'perf top' utility has been changed to overwrite mode since commit ebebbf082357 ("perf top: Switch default mode to overwrite mode").
For older kernels which don't have overwrite mode support, 'perf top' will fall back to non-overwrite mode and print out the fallback message using ui__warning(), which needs user's input to close.
The fallback message is not critical for end users. Turning it to debug message which is printed when running with -vv.
