That doesn't seem to be the problem, the last check after
parse_perf_probe_command() is failing:
+ pr_debug("bpf: config program '%s'\n", config_str);
+ err = parse_perf_probe_command(config_str, pev);
+ if (err < 0) {
+ pr_debug("bpf: '%s' is not a valid config string\n",
+ config_str);
+ err = -EINVAL;
+ goto errout;
+ }
+
+ if (pev->group && strcmp(pev->group, PERF_BPF_PROBE_GROUP)) {
+ pr_debug("bpf: '%s': group for event is set and not '%s'.\n",
+ config_str, PERF_BPF_PROBE_GROUP);
+ err = -EINVAL;
+ goto errout;
+ } else if (!pev->group)
+ pev->group = strdup(PERF_BPF_PROBE_GROUP);
+
+ if (!pev->group) {
+ pr_debug("bpf: strdup failed\n");
+ err = -ENOMEM;
+ goto errout;
+ }
+
+ if (!pev->event) {
+ pr_debug("bpf: '%s': event name is missing\n",
+ config_str);
+ err = -EINVAL;
+ goto errout;
+ }
+ pr_debug("bpf: config '%s' is ok\n", config_str);
I.e. pev->event is NULL, is this expected at this point? I'll continue
investigating later.
What I have is at the perf/ebpf branch in my tree.
