[PATCH 10/12] perf stat: Add event parsing error handling to add_default_attributes

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Mon Jun 11 2018 - 13:49:13 EST


From: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@xxxxxxxxxx>

Add missing error handling for parse_events calls in add_default_attributes
functions. The error handler displays error details, like for transactions (-T):

Before:
$ perf stat -T
Cannot set up transaction events

After:
$ perf stat -T
Cannot set up transaction events
event syntax error: '..cycles,cpu/cycles-t/,cpu/tx-start/,cpu/el-start/,cpu/cycles-ct/}'
\___ unknown term
