[PATCH v2 4/7 fix] perf tools: Improve BPF related error messages output

From: Wang Nan
Date: Fri Nov 06 2015 - 08:59:14 EST


A series of bpf loader related error code is introduced to help error
delivering. Functions are improved to return those new error code.
Functions which return pointers are adjusted to encode error code into
return value using "ERR_PTR".

bpf_loader_strerror() is improved to convert those error message to
string. It detected the value of error code and calls libbpf_strerror()
and strerror_r() accordingly, so caller don't need to consider checking
the range of error code.

In bpf__strerror_load(), print kernel version of running kernel and
the object's 'version' section to notify user how to fix his/her
program.

v1 -> v2:
Use macro for error code.

Fetch error message based on array index, eliminate for-loop.

Print version strings.

Before:

# perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o sleep 1
event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
\___ Failed to load program: Validate your program and check 'license'/'version' sections in your object
[SKIP]

After:

# perf record -e ./test_kversion_nomatch_program.o ls
event syntax error: './test_kversion_nomatch_program.o'
\___ 'version' (4.4.0) doesn't match running kernel (4.3.0)
[SKIP]

Previous patch breaks idention of 2 lines. Resend for fixing that.
