[PATCH 1/4] perf bpf_counter: Add more error messages for bperf

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Jan 04 2023 - 01:44:39 EST


I found perf stat silently exits when it failed in bperf__load().
Let's add some error messages to notify users.

$ sudo ./perf stat -a --bpf-counters -ddd sleep 1
bpf_map_update_elem failed: err=-7
