Subject: [RFC 00/11] perf tools: Enhance parsing events tracepoint error output

hi,
enhancing parsing events tracepoint error output. Adding
more verbose output when the tracepoint is not found or
the tracing event path cannot be access.

  $ sudo perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ unknown tracepoint

  Error:  File /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/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
  ...

  $ perf record -e sched:sched_krava ls
  event syntax error: 'sched:sched_krava'
                       \___ can't access trace events

  Error:  No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing//tracing/events/sched/sched_krava
  Hint:   Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug'

  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
  ...

I changed api/fs tracefs/debugfs related code and I'm not completely
sure what were the long term intentions with this code, so please
comment ;-)
