Subject[PATCH v5 bpf-next 3/5] libbpf: print hint when PERF_EVENT_IOC_SET_BPF returns -EPROTO
Date
The kernel prevents potential unwinder warnings and crashes by blocking
BPF program with bpf_get_[stack|stackid] on perf_event without
PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN, or with exclude_callchain_[kernel|user]. Print a
hint message in libbpf to help the user debug such issues.
