From ffeb883e5662e94b14948078e85812261277ad67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: He Kuang Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 03:52:14 +0000 Subject: perf tools: Show proper error message for wrong terms of hw/sw events Show proper error message and show valid terms when wrong config terms is specified for hw/sw type perf events. This patch makes the original error format function formats_error_string() more generic, which only outputs the static config terms for hw/sw perf events, and prepends pmu formats for pmu events. Before this patch: $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1 invalid or unsupported event: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events After this patch: $ perf record -e 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' -a sleep 1 event syntax error: 'cpu-clock/freqx=200/' \___ unknown term valid terms: config,config1,config2,name,period,freq,branch_type,time,call-graph,stack-size Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events Signed-off-by: He Kuang Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1443412336-120050-2-git-send-email-hekuang@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo --- tools/perf/util/parse-events.c | 29 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+) (limited to 'tools/perf/util/parse-events.c') diff --git a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c index 9dc3fb6ee81e..ea64ec0720ca 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c +++ b/tools/perf/util/parse-events.c @@ -656,6 +656,9 @@ do { \ CHECK_TYPE_VAL(STR); break; default: + err->str = strdup("unknown term"); + err->idx = term->err_term; + err->help = parse_events_formats_error_string(NULL); return -EINVAL; } @@ -1875,3 +1878,29 @@ void parse_events_evlist_error(struct parse_events_evlist *data, err->str = strdup(str); WARN_ONCE(!err->str, "WARNING: failed to allocate error string"); } + +/* + * Return string contains valid config terms of an event. + * @additional_terms: For terms such as PMU sysfs terms. + */ +char *parse_events_formats_error_string(char *additional_terms) +{ + char *str; + static const char *static_terms = "config,config1,config2,name," + "period,freq,branch_type,time," + "call-graph,stack-size\n"; + + /* valid terms */ + if (additional_terms) { + if (!asprintf(&str, "valid terms: %s,%s", + additional_terms, static_terms)) + goto fail; + } else { + if (!asprintf(&str, "valid terms: %s", static_terms)) + goto fail; + } + return str; + +fail: + return NULL; +} -- cgit
