Subject[PATCH v1 2/5] perf trace: Return error if a system call doesn't exist
Date
When a system call is not detected, the reason is either because the
system call ID is out of scope or failure to find the corresponding path
in the sysfs, trace__read_syscall_info() returns zero. Finally, without
returning an error value it introduces confusion for the caller.

This patch lets the function trace__read_syscall_info() to return
-EEXIST when a system call doesn't exist.

Fixes: b8b1033fcaa0 ("perf trace: Mark syscall ids that are not allocated to avoid unnecessary error messages")
