Subject: perf trace: Read_tracing_data should die() another day
X-Git-Tag: upstream/snapshot3+hdmi~16109^2~245
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e25613683bd5c46d3e8c8ae6416dccc9f357dcdc;p=platform%2Fadaptation%2Frenesas_rcar%2Frenesas_kernel.git

perf trace: Read_tracing_data should die() another day

It better propagate errors, also if we do a simple:

[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]# perf record -R -a -f sleep 3s ;
perf trace [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.182 MB perf.data (~7972 samples) ]
Fatal: not an trace data file
[root@doppio linux-2.6-tip]#

That is what is expected, right? I.e. as we didn't specify any
tracepoint event via -e, it should gracefully bail out and not
SEGFAULT.
