perf config: Bail out when a handler returns failure for a key-value pair
So perf_config() uses: int ret = 0; perf_config_set__for_each_entry(config_set, section, item) { ... ret = fn(); if (ret < 0) break; } return ret; Expecting that that break will imediatelly go to function exit to return that error value (ret). The problem is that perf_config_set__for_each_entry() expands into two nested for() loops, one traversing the sections in a config and the second the items in each of those sections, so we have to change that 'break' to a goto label right before that final 'return ret'. With that, for instance 'perf trace' now correctly bails out when a event that is requested to be added via its 'trace.add_events' ~/.perfconfig entry gets rejected by the kernel BPF verifier: # perf trace ls event syntax error: '/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o' \___ Kernel verifier blocks program loading (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Error: wrong config key-value pair trace.add_events=/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf/examples/bpf/augmented_raw_syscalls.o # While before it would continue and explode later, when trying to find maps that would have been in place had that augmented_raw_syscalls.o precompiled BPF proggie been accepted by the, humm, bast... rigorous kernel BPF verifier 8-) Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org> Cc: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@iogearbox.net> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Martin KaFai Lau <kafai@fb.com> Cc: Mathieu Poirier <mathieu.poirier@linaro.org> Cc: Mike Leach <mike.leach@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Cc: Suzuki Poulouse <suzuki.poulose@arm.com> Cc: Taeung Song <treeze.taeung@gmail.com> Cc: Yonghong Song <yhs@fb.com> Fixes: 8a0a9c7e ("perf config: Introduce new init() and exit()") Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-qvqxfk9d0rn1l7lcntwiezrr@git.kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
