So, this one, for a non-root user gives me:
[acme@...icio linux]$ perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep 1
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument
(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[acme@...icio linux]$
--------------------
I.e. no libbpf error (good!) but then, just an -EINVAL as the "event syntax
error", which clearly isn't a syntax error, we need to tell the user that he or she
needs special perfmissions for using sys_bpf() :-)
As root:
[root@...icio ~]# perf record --event /tmp/foo.o sleep
event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o'
\___ Invalid argument

[root@...icio ~]# ls -la /tmp/foo.o
-rw-rw-r--. 1 acme acme 824 Oct 20 12:35 /tmp/foo.o
[root@...icio ~]# file /tmp/foo.o
/tmp/foo.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, no machine, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
Humm, its something else, this is an ancient kernel, 4.2.0, probably without
eBPF support? Nope, its there:
[root@...icio ~]# grep -i sys_bpf /proc/kallsyms
ffffffff811829d0 T SyS_bpf
ffffffff811829d0 T sys_bpf
[root@...icio ~]#
Its something else, we need to improve this error reporting:

So it still doesn't work, doesn't look like it is trying to find a vmlinux,
will look at another patch IIRC is in this patchkit allowing us to tell
'perf record' where to find it... But it can as well use kallsyms...
