perf trace: Validate syscall list passed via -e argument
The 'trace' tool was accepting any names passed and just looking if syscalls returned via the raw_syscalls:* tracepoints were in that list, leading to it accepting perf events and then never finding any, as those are not valid syscall names, confusing users. Fix it by checking each entry in the list using audit_name_to_syscall, telling the user which entries are invalid and suggesting where to look for valid syscall names. E.g: [root@zoo ~]# trace -e open,foo,bar,close,baz Error: Invalid syscall bar, baz, foo Hint: try 'perf list syscalls:sys_enter_*' Hint: and: 'man syscalls' [root@zoo ~]# Reported-by: Flavio Leitner <[email protected]> Cc: Adrian Hunter <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: David Ahern <[email protected]> Cc: Don Zickus <[email protected]> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: Jiri Olsa <[email protected]> Cc: Namhyung Kim <[email protected]> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/[email protected] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <[email protected]>
