From c1c49204b0114daf210c79d66a5980c8e6f8f8fb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Adrian Hunter Date: Fri, 1 Mar 2019 14:29:02 +0200 Subject: perf auxtrace: Improve address filter error message when there is no DSO The message does not indicate the possibility that the symbol is not found because the file does not exist. Before: $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' ls Symbol 'strcmp' not found. Note that symbols must be functions. Failed to parse address filter: 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop [/ ] [@] Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma. After: $ perf record -e intel_pt//u --filter 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' ls File 'foo' not found or has no symbols. Symbol 'strcmp' not found. Note that symbols must be functions. Failed to parse address filter: 'filter strcmp / strcpy @ foo ' Filter format is: filter|start|stop|tracestop [/ ] [@] Where multiple filters are separated by space or comma.
