    perf evlist: Handle -EINVAL for sample_freq > max_sample_rate in strerror_open() · d9aade7f
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo 提交于
    When running the "code reading" test we get:
    
      # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -5
      Parsing event 'cycles:u'
      perf_evlist__open failed
      test child finished with -1
      ---- end ----
      Test object code reading: FAILED!
      #
    
    And with -vv we get the errno value, -22, i.e. -EINVAL, but we can do
    better and handle the case at hand, with this patch it becomes:
    
      # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -7
      perf_evlist__open() failed!
      Error: Invalid argument.
      Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
      Hint:  The current value is 1000 and 4000 is being requested.
      test child finished with -1
      ---- end ----
      Test object code reading: FAILED!
      #
    
    Next patch will make this 'perf test' entry to use perf_evlist__strerror()
