So, trying the above command I get almost perfect output:

[root@felicio ~]# perf record --event foo.o sleep
libbpf: failed to open foo.o: No such file or directory
event syntax error: 'foo.o'
\___ BPF object file 'foo.o' is invalid

(add -v to see detail)
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
[root@felicio ~]#


Good thing would be to not have any message from libbpf and the right error
message from the parser, i.e. the first three lines become these two:


event syntax error: 'foo.o'
\___ BPF object file 'foo.o' not found.o

But that can be fixed up in an upcoming patch, so I am applying this one now in
my new attempt at processing this patchkit.
