[PATCH 3/3] tracing: Add field modifier parsing hist error for hist triggers
From: Tom Zanussi
Date: Thu Apr 26 2018 - 21:05:36 EST
If the user specifies an invalid field modifier for a hist trigger,
the current code correctly flags that as an error, but doesn't tell
the user what happened.
Fix this by invoking hist_err() with an appropriate message when
invalid modifiers are specified.
Before:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.junkusecs' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
-su: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist
After:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.junkusecs' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/trigger
-su: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_wakeup/hist
ERROR: Invalid field modifier: junkusecs
Last command: keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.junkusecs
