perf probe: Show error code and description in verbose mode
Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe' command failed. Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that is meaningless for many users. This changes error messages to show the error code and its description only in verbose mode (-v option). Without this patch: ----- # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found. Error: Failed to add events. (-2) ----- With this patch, normally the message doesn't show the misterious error number: ----- # perf probe -a do_execve@hoge Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found. Error: Failed to add events. ----- And in verbose mode, it also shows additional error messages as below: ----- # perf probe -va do_execve@hoge probe-definition(0): do_execve@hoge symbol:do_execve file:hoge line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) 0 arguments Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long) Using /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux for symbols Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux Try to find probe point from debuginfo. Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found. Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2) ----- Reported-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20140606071352.6788.76943.stgit@kbuild-fedora.novalocal Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
