[PATCH 1/2] libbpf: show more info about missing ".BTF" section

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Show more information about why failed instead of just saying "No such file or
directory".

Now will print below info:
libbpf: can not find '.BTF' section
libbpf: is CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF enabled for kernel?
Error: failed to load BTF from /home/changbin/work/linux/vmlinux: No such file or directory
