perf probe: Show correct error message about @symbol usage for uprobe
Since @symbol variable access is not supported by uprobe event, it must be
correctly warn user instead of kernel version update.
Committer testing:
With/without the patch:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L sigtrap_handler
<sigtrap_handler@/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/tests/sigtrap.c:0>
0 sigtrap_handler(int signum __maybe_unused, siginfo_t *info, void *ucontext __maybe_unused)
1 {
2 if (!__atomic_fetch_add(&ctx.signal_count, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED))
3 ctx.first_siginfo = *info;
4 __atomic_fetch_sub(&ctx.tids_want_signal, syscall(SYS_gettid), __ATOMIC_RELAXED);
5 }
static void *test_thread(void *arg)
{
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf sigtrap_handler:4 "ctx.signal_count"
Without the patch:
[root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf sigtrap_handler:4 "ctx.signal_count"
