Currently, when 'perf test' is run by a normal user, it'll fail to
access tracepoint events. The output becomes somewhat messy because it
tries to be nice with long error messages and hints.
IMHO this is not needed for 'perf test' by default and AFAIK 'perf test'
uses pr_debug() rather than pr_err() for such messages so that one can
use -v option to see further details on failed testcases if needed.
Before:
$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : FAILED!
2: detect openat syscall event :Error:
No permissions to read
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
FAILED!
3: detect openat syscall event on all cpus :Error:
No permissions to read
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_openat
Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'
FAILED!
...
After:
$ perf test
1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : FAILED!
2: detect openat syscall event : FAILED!
3: detect openat syscall event on all cpus : FAILED!
...
$ perf test -v 2
2: detect openat syscall event :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 30575

Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing'

Propagate error info from tp_format via ERR_PTR to get it all the way
down to the parse-event.c tracepoint adding routines. Following
functions now return pointer with encoded error:
- tp_format
- trace_event__tp_format
- perf_evsel__newtp_idx
- perf_evsel__newtp
This affects several other places in perf, that cannot use pointer check
anymore, but must utilize the err.h interface, when getting error
information from above functions list.

Instead provide a method to set the array entries, and another to access
the contents.

Since the test being tested is now openat rather than open, rename the
files to make it explicit. The patch is separeted from the first to make
it simpler to deal with any potential conflicts in the Makefile
