perf parse-events: Identify broken modifiers
[ Upstream commit eabd4523395e4a8f2b049165642801f2ab8ff893 ]
Previously the broken modifier causes a usage message to printed but
nothing else.
After:
$ perf stat -e 'cycles:kk' -a sleep 2
event syntax error: 'cycles:kk'
\___ Bad modifier
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
$ perf stat -e '{instructions,cycles}:kk' -a sleep 2
event syntax error: '..ns,cycles}:kk'
\___ Bad modifier
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
