Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic message to the user: $ perf trace Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information! Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted. Now, the tool prints detailed error messages: $ perf trace Error: Unable to find debugfs Hint: Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support? Hint: Is the debugfs filesystem mounted? Hint: Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug' $ perf trace Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/' Signed-off-by: Ramkumar Ramachandra <artagnon@gmail.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1380863851-14460-1-git-send-email-artagnon@gmail.com [ Added ready to use commands to fix the issues as extra hints, use the current debugfs mount point when reporting permission error, use strerror_r instead of the deprecated sys_errlist, as reported by David Ahern ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> |
