perf probe: Check the orphaned -x option
To avoid probing in unintended binary, the orphaned -x option must be checked and warned. Without this patch, following command sets up the probe in the kernel. ----- # perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf Added new event: probe:strcpy (on strcpy) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:strcpy -aR sleep 1 ----- But in this case, it seems that the user may want to probe in the perf binary. With this patch, perf-probe correctly handles the orphaned -x. ----- # perf probe -a strcpy -x ./perf Error: -x/-m must follow the probe definitions. ... ----- Reported-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150401102541.17137.75477.stgit@localhost.localdomain Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu <masami.hiramatsu.pt@hitachi.com> Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
