From 7a0119468c9c2deff24ef24e1b4d2c1bd1523fd5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wang Nan Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 10:44:43 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf bpf: Mute libbpf when '-v' not set According to [1], libbpf should be muted. This patch reset info and warning message level to ensure libbpf doesn't output anything even if error happened. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20151020151255.GF5119@kernel.org Committer note: Before: Testing it with an incompatible kernel version in the .c file that generated foo.o: [root@zoo ~]# perf record -e /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 libbpf: load bpf program failed: Invalid argument libbpf: -- BEGIN DUMP LOG --- libbpf: libbpf: -- END LOG -- libbpf: failed to load program 'fork=_do_fork' libbpf: failed to load object '/tmp/foo.o' event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o' \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel? (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events [root@zoo ~]# After: [root@zoo ~]# perf record -e /tmp/foo.o sleep 1 event syntax error: '/tmp/foo.o' \___ Invalid argument: Are you root and runing a CONFIG_BPF_SYSCALL kernel? (add -v to see detail) Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] -e, --event event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events [root@zoo ~]# This, BTW, need fixing to emit a proper message by validating the version in the foo.o "version" ELF section against the running kernel, warning the user instead of asking the kernel to load a binary that it will refuse due to unmatching kernel version.
