Updates the perf python binding to provide more informative error
messages to the user when there is a call failure. The changes include
setting error messages on several different scenarios when the package
needs to return -1 or NULL.

Nice! Would it be possible to test this? We could do a shell test:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/tests/shell

Thanks,

All my changes in this patch is just setting the error message that
can be interpreted by Python just before the bindings return.

I am not sure about shell test, but I can do something like

[root@nyu-lexis linux]# export PYTHONPATH=~jinli/linux/tools/perf/python/
[root@nyu-lexis linux]# python3
Python 3.11.2 (main, Feb  8 2023, 00:00:00) [GCC 12.2.1 20221121 (Red
Hat 12.2.1-4)] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import perf
>>> thread_map = perf.thread_map(9999)   # a non-existent pid in /proc
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

whereas the original output is

>>> thread_map = perf.thread_map(9999)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: <class 'perf.thread_map'> returned NULL without setting
an exception

Upon testing I did find some of the changes unnecessary. I will submit
a new patch to this.

This is my first time contributing so please let me know if I did
anything wrong :)

Best wishes,
Jinli

Everything is good with your patch. I'm keen that we try to make sure
we have coverage with tests. We have other shell tests that run
python:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh?h=perf-tools-next
So I wonder we can start doing what you did in your example and then
just assert we get a FileNotFoundError in the python. The shell script
is really just a way to run the python and can follow the example in
the link. Sound good?

Thanks,
Ian
