Subject: [PATCH -tip  0/4] perf/probe: Improve error messages

Hi,

Here is a series that improves error messages of perf probe.

 -  Improve the error message if we can not find given member in
    the given structure. (perf probe --add)
 -  Show error code and description only in verbose mode if
    perf probe command is failed.
 -  Improve error messages of perf probe --vars mode.
 -  Improve error messages of perf probe --line mode.

This series is mainly for fixing confusing messages and
for removing the error code which is just a mysterious
number for users.

Thank you,

---
