The function "try_to_find_probe_trace_events" uses return error code as ENOENT in two places. First place is after "open_debuginfo" when opening debuginfo fails and secondly, after when not finding the probe point. This function is invoked during bpf load and there are other exit points in this code path which returns ENOENT. This makes it difficult to understand the exact reason for exit. Patches changes the exit code from ENOENT to: - ENODATA when it fails to find debuginfo - ENODEV when it fails to find probe point Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev <redacted> --- tools/perf/util/probe-event.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-)
