perf probe: Fix --list option to show events only with uprobe events
Current perf probe --list doesn't work if only CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y
because it aborts when it fails to open kprobe_events file before
checking uprobe_events file.
This fixes --list option to show dynamic events if it can open either
kprobe_events or uprobe_events. Only if it failed to open both of them,
it shows an error message and aborts.
Without this patch, if we run perf probe -l on the kernel configured
with CONFIG_KPROBE_EVENTS=n and CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENTS=y,
# perf probe -l
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events file does not exist - please rebuild ker
Error: Failed to show event list.
With this patch,
# perf probe -l
probe_perf:alloc_event (on alloc_event@lib/traceevent/event-parse.c in /home/fedora/ksrc/linux-3/tools/perf/perf)
Changes in v2:
- Use strerror_r instead of strerror.
