perf tools: Check wether the eBPF file exists in event parsing Adding the check wether the eBPF file exists, to consider it as eBPF input file. This way we can differentiate eBPF events from events that end up with same suffix as eBPF file. Before: $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/' true bpf: builtin compilation failed: -95, try external compiler WARNING: unable to get correct kernel building directory. Hint: Set correct kbuild directory using 'kbuild-dir' option in [llvm] section of ~/.perfconfig or set it to "" to suppress kbuild detection. event syntax error: 'cpu/uops_executed.core/' \___ Failed to load cpu/uops_executed.c from source: 'version' section incorrect or lost After: $ perf stat -e 'cpu/uops_executed.core/' true Performance counter stats for 'true': 181,533 cpu/uops_executed.core/:u 0.002795447 seconds time elapsed If user makes type in the eBPF file, we prioritize the event syntax and show following warning: $ perf stat -e 'krava.c//' true event syntax error: 'krava.c//' \___ Cannot find PMU `krava.c'.
