perf probe: Show correct error message about @symbol usage for uprobe
Since @symbol variable access is not supported by uprobe event, it must be correctly warn user instead of kernel version update. Committer testing: With/without the patch: [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf -L sigtrap_handler <sigtrap_handler@/home/acme/git/perf-tools-next/tools/perf/tests/sigtrap.c:0> 0 sigtrap_handler(int signum __maybe_unused, siginfo_t *info, void *ucontext __maybe_unused) 1 { 2 if (!__atomic_fetch_add(&ctx.signal_count, 1, __ATOMIC_RELAXED)) 3 ctx.first_siginfo = *info; 4 __atomic_fetch_sub(&ctx.tids_want_signal, syscall(SYS_gettid), __ATOMIC_RELAXED); 5 } static void *test_thread(void *arg) { [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf sigtrap_handler:4 "ctx.signal_count" Without the patch: [root@quaco ~]# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf sigtrap_handler:4 "ctx.signal_count" Failed to write event: Invalid argument Please upgrade your kernel to at least 3.14 to have access to feature @ctx Error: Failed to add events.
