Subject: [PATCH] perf lock record: improve message when tracepoints are not enabled
Date: Thu,  9 Aug 2012 10:35:37 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1344530137-25521-1-git-send-email-dsahern@gmail.com> (raw)

If CONFIG options required for perf-lock are not enabled then the
corresponding tracepoints will not be enabled. Currently, the message to
the user is:
  $ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1
  invalid or unsupported event: 'lock:lock_acquire'
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

Improve the message with a suggestion on which CONFIG options are needed:
  $ perf lock record -a -- sleep 1
  tracepoint lock:lock_acquire is not enabled. Are CONFIG_LOCKDEP and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT enabled?
