[PATCH] perf tools: Fail properly in case pattern matching fails to find tracepoint

Show all headers | View raw

Currently we dont fail properly when pattern matching
fails to find any tracepoint.

Current behaviour:

  $ perf record -e 'sched:krava*' sleep 1
  WARNING: event parser found nothinginvalid or unsupported event: 'sched:krava*'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

  usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
     or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

This patch change:

  $ perf record -e 'sched:krava*' sleep 1
  event syntax error: 'sched:krava*'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint

  Error:  File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/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

   usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
