perf probe: Fix to show correct error message for $vars and $params
Fix to show correct error messages for $vars and $params because
those special variables requires debug information to find the
real variables or function parameters.
E.g. without this fix;
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
Please upgrade your kernel to at least 3.14 to have access to feature $params
Error: Failed to add events.
----
Perf ends up with an error, but the message is not correct. With this
fix, perf shows correct error message as below.
----
# perf probe -x /lib64/libc-2.23.so getaddrinfo \$params
The /usr/lib64/libc-2.23.so file has no debug information.
Rebuild with -g, or install an appropriate debuginfo package.
Error: Failed to add events.
