    perf tools: Enhance parsing events tracepoint error output · 19658171
    Jiri Olsa authored
    Enhancing parsing events tracepoint error output. Adding
    more verbose output when the tracepoint is not found or
    the tracing event path cannot be access.
    
      $ sudo perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
      event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                           \___ unknown tracepoint
    
      Error:  File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/sched_krava not found.
      Hint:   Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
    
      Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
      ...
    
      $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
      event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                           \___ can't access trace events
    
      Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
      Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'
    
      Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
      ...
