From 333b566559019b146905c623bde7f455c1d5add3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andi Kleen Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 14:50:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf pmu: Improve error messages for missing PMUs When a PMU is missing print a better error message mentioning the missing PMU. % mkdir empty % mount --bind empty /sys/devices/msr % perf stat -M Summary true event syntax error: '{inst_retired.any,cycles}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.thread}:W,{inst_retired.any}:W,{cpu_clk_unhalted.ref_tsc,msr/tsc/}:W,{fp_comp_ops_exe.sse_scalar..' \___ Cannot find PMU `msr'. Missing kernel support? It still cannot find the right column for aliases, but it's already a vast improvement. v2: Check asprintf Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170913215006.32222-1-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/metricgroup.c | 2 +- tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 18 ++++++++++++------ tools/perf/util/parse-events.h | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/tools/perf/util/metricgroup.c b/tools/perf/util/metricgroup.c index 2d60114f1870..fa37ef79517a 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/metricgroup.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/metricgroup.c @@ -477,7 +477,7 @@ int metricgroup__parse_groups(const struct option *opt, memset(&parse_error, 0, sizeof(struct parse_events_error)); ret = parse_events(perf_evlist, extra_events.buf, &parse_error); if (ret) { - pr_err("Cannot set up events %s\n", extra_events.buf); + parse_events_print_error(&parse_error, extra_events.buf); goto out; } strbuf_release(&extra_events); diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c index 75588920fccc..9183913a6174 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c @@ -1219,11 +1219,17 @@ static int __parse_events_add_pmu(struct parse_events_state *parse_state, struct perf_pmu_info info; struct perf_pmu *pmu; struct perf_evsel *evsel; + struct parse_events_error *err = parse_state->error; LIST_HEAD(config_terms); pmu = perf_pmu__find(name); - if (!pmu) + if (!pmu) { + if (asprintf(&err->str, + "Cannot find PMU `%s'.
