Subject: [PATCH -tip 1/4] perf/probe: Improve error message for unknown
member of data structure
Improve the error message if we can not find given member in
the given structure. Currently perf probe shows a wrong error
message as below.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
Failed to find 'result' in this function.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
-----
The first message is correct, but the second one is not, since
we didn't fail to find a variable but fails to find the member
of given variable.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
-----
With this patch, the error message shows only the first one.
And if we really failed to find given variable, it tells us so.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "BOGUS"
Failed to find 'BOGUS' in this function.
Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
