perf tools: Check wether the eBPF file exists in event parsing
Adding the check wether the eBPF file exists, to consider it
as eBPF input file. This way we can differentiate eBPF events
from events that end up with same suffix as eBPF file.
Before:
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/' true
bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler
WARNING: unable to get correct kernel building directory.
Hint: Set correct kbuild directory using 'kbuild-dir' option in [llvm]
section of ~/.perfconfig or set it to "" to suppress kbuild
detection.
event syntax error: 'cpu/uops_executed.core/'
\___ Failed to load cpu/uops_executed.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost
After:
$ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/' true
Performance counter stats for 'true':
181,533 cpu/uops_executed.core/:u
0.002795447 seconds time elapsed
If user makes type in the eBPF file, we prioritize the event syntax
and show following warning:
$ perf stat -e 'krava.c//' true
event syntax error: 'krava.c//'
\___ Cannot find PMU `krava.c'. Missing kernel support?
