I wonder if this shouldn't be made pr_debug, and as well have a function
prefix, otherwise we may think this is related to some other kind of
map, so I suggest:
pr_debug("%s: error: map handler doesn't belong to object\n", __func__);

Or at least:

pr_debug("BPF error: map handler doesn't belong to object\n");

We always have a libbpf prefix before debug info from libbpf. Please see

static __printf(1, 2) libbpf_print_fn_t __pr_warning = __base_pr;
static __printf(1, 2) libbpf_print_fn_t __pr_info = __base_pr;
static __printf(1, 2) libbpf_print_fn_t __pr_debug;
#define __pr(func, fmt, ...) \
do { \
if ((func)) \
(func)("libbpf: " fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__); \
} while (0)

#define pr_warning(fmt, ...) __pr(__pr_warning, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define pr_info(fmt, ...) __pr(__pr_info, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)
#define pr_debug(fmt, ...) __pr(__pr_debug, fmt, ##__VA_ARGS__)

We allow __pr_{warning,info,debug} be overwritten but the 'libbpf:' prefix is
always there.

Also, don't forget in perf's context libbpf is muted.

Sorry, Shoule be "muted in most case"...

Here's an example:

$ sudo ./perf record -v -e ./test_bpf_base.c ls
...
ude/uapi -Iinclude/generated/uapi -include /home/w00229757/linux-hydrogen/include/linux/kconfig.h

bpf: config 'func_write=vfs_write file->f_mode' is ok

If the error you pointed out is triggered, it should be:

libbpf: error: map handler doesn't belong to object ...

So we can always find which error message is belone to libbpf
and which is belone to perf.
