[PATCH 01/10] perf probe: Propagate error code when write(2) failed

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>

When it failed to write probe commands to the probe_event file in
debugfs, it needs to propagate the error code properly.  Current code
blindly uses the return value of the write(2) so it always uses
-1 (-EPERM) and it might confuse users.
