Subject: Re: [RFC 1/3] perf tool: Introduce arch-specific supplemental perf
open strerror capability

> Introduce new tools/perf/arch/*/util/evsel.c:perf_evsel__suppl_strerror()
The naming... suppl for what? for the open operation? strerror() methods
are associated with another method, one for which it can use context
like who is the user asking for that operation, procfs/sysfs knobs,
hardware, etc, so we need to have CLASS__METHOD_strerror()
In this case, CLASS == perf_evsel, METHOD = open, so, if you want to
have something that is _arch_ specific, we could use something like:
int __weak perf_evsel__open_strerror_arch(struct perf_evsel *evsel __maybe_unused,
struct target *target __maybe_unused,
int err __maybe_unused,
char *msg __maybe_unused,
size_t size __maybe_unused)
{
return 0;
}
But then you're calling it _before_ the existing switch (err), humm...
I.e. it will add stuff before the string that will be formatted later...
The messages may end up being conflicting, I wonder if the model
wouldn't be better as: ask the arch specific if it wants to override
that specific error with something, if not, fallback to the existing
perf_evsel__open_strerror() code, that could be moved to be
__perf_evsel__open_strerror() and called by the arch specific code.
Thoughts?
