It checks if errno is set and if so, it prints out perror(). What usually happens is I do a stat() on a file which sets errno, and forget about it. Then if trace-cmd finds some internal error, it calls the warning() message, which then prints out the stale errno. -- Steve -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe kvm in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I have not used trace-cmd much, so I am not familiar with the code. Is
this a known issue? Suggestions on how to debug?

I think there have been issues for a long time. I've never gotten
perf or trace-cmd to be happy with kvm:* events. Here is a related
thread from a while back:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2010/5/26/194
When I looked a while back the problem was due to how there is some
preprocessor magic in Linux that ends up exporting C expressions as
strings to userspace and neither perf nor trace-cmd have the parsing
smarts to evaluate the C expressions at runtime.
I ended up using ftrace instead which handles everything inside the
kernel and compiles in those C expressions.

Hmm.. ok. I thought it had been added - to trace-cmd at least. And I
recall Avi recently sending a patch to trace-cmd folks - I took that to
mean it works. Evidently, not.

Let me check... indeed, I'm getting the same file-not-found here with
trace-cmd.git 9cce1c9b5b when starting it directly from its build directory.
But maybe your trace-cmd or kernel versions are too old / incompatible.
I'm not getting complaints about unparseable events with the above
snapshot and 2.6.38.
