perf tools: Fail properly in case pattern matching fails to find tracepoint
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>] Reported-by: Daniel Bristot de Oliveira <bristot@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1444073477-3181-1-git-send-email-jolsa@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
