Subject: [PATCH RFC v1 2/4] perf: Add file name and line number to perf extended error reports
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:45:57 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1437738359-23920-3-git-send-email-alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1437738359-23920-1-git-send-email-alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>

If kernel debugging is enabled, include additional information to extended
syscall error reports: file name and line number, to make error hunting even
easier.

And in really desperate times, this allows for such things (a variation on
Hugh Dickins' trick [1]):

	#undef EINVAL
	#define EINVAL perf_err(-22, "")

However, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL might not be the right option for this as I
notice that, for example, debian enables it in its kernels.
