Series perf record: Implement BPF sample filter (v5) |

Commit Message

Namhyung Kim March 14, 2023, 11:42 p.m. UTC 
  For a BPF filter to work properly, users need to provide appropriate
options to enable the sample types.  Otherwise the BPF program would
see an invalid value (i.e. always 0) and filter won't work well.

Show a warning message if sample types are missing like below.

  $ sudo ./perf record -e cycles --filter 'addr < 100' true
  Error: cycles event does not have PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR
   Hint: please add -d option to perf record.
  failed to set filter "BPF" on event cycles with 22 (Invalid argument)
