From d4b4dd6ce7709c2d2fe56dcfc15074ee18505bcb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Song Liu Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 11:06:46 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] libbpf: Print hint when PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF returns -EPROTO The kernel prevents potential unwinder warnings and crashes by blocking BPF program with bpf_get_[stack|stackid] on perf_event without PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, or with exclude_callchain_[kernel|user]. Print a hint message in libbpf to help the user debug such issues.
