Subject: perf probe: Show the error reason comes from invalid DSO
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=419e87382873b11b17cb31e2f21859570a32e0d1;p=linux-beck.git

perf probe: Show the error reason comes from invalid DSO

Show the reason of error when dso__load* fails. This shows when user
gives wrong kernel image or wrong path.

Without this, perf probe shows an obscure message:

  ----
  $ perf probe -k ~/kbin/linux-3.x86_64/vmlinux -L vfs_read
  Failed to find path of kernel module.
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  ----

With this, perf shows appropriate error message:

  ----
  $ perf probe -k ~/kbin/linux-3.x86_64/vmlinux -L vfs_read
  Failed to find the path for kernel: Mismatching build id
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  ----

And:

  ----
  $ perf probe -k /non-exist/kernel/vmlinux -L vfs_read
  Failed to find the path for kernel: No such file or directory
    Error: Failed to show lines.
  ----
