perf symbols: Save DSO loading errno to better report errors
Before, when some problem happened while trying to load the kernel
symtab, 'perf top' would show:
ââWarning:ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âThe vmlinux file can't be used. â
âKernel samples will not be resolved.â
â â
â â
âPress any key... â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
Now, it reports:
# perf top --vmlinux /dev/null
ââWarning:ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
âThe /tmp/passwd file can't be used: Invalid ELF fileâ
âKernel samples will not be resolved. â
â â
â â
âPress any key... â
ââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââââ
This is possible because we now register the reason for not being able
to load the symtab in the dso->load_errno member, and provide a
dso__strerror_load() routine to format this error into a strerror like
string with a short reason for the error while loading.
That can be just forwarding the dso__strerror_load() call to
strerror_r(), or, for a separate errno range providing a custom message.
