To make error messages more accurate, this change detects whether ftrace is enabled on system by checking trace file "set_ftrace_pid". Before: # perf ftrace failed to reset ftrace # After: # perf ftrace ftrace is not supported on this system # Committer testing: Doing it in an unprivileged toolbox container on Fedora 40: Before: acme@number:~/git/perf-tools-next$ toolbox enter perf ⬢[acme@toolbox perf-tools-next]$ sudo su - ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# ~acme/bin/perf ftrace failed to reset ftrace ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# After this patch: ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# ~acme/bin/perf ftrace ftrace is not supported on this system ⬢[root@toolbox ~]# Maybe we could check if we are in such as situation, inside an unprivileged container, and provide a HINT line?
