Subject: perf probe: Fix error reported when offset without function
X-Git-Url: http://git.cdn.openwrt.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6c6e024f0a62a6a08c06002fd3caa2307cc54fd0;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

perf probe: Fix error reported when offset without function

This patch fixes a bug that, when offset is provided but function is
lost, parse_perf_probe_point() will give a "" string as function name,
so the checking code at the end of parse_perf_probe_point() become
useless.  For example:

  # perf probe +0x1234
  Failed to find symbol  in kernel
    Error: Failed to add events.

After this patch:

  # perf probe +0x1234
  Semantic error :Offset requires an entry function.
    Error: Command Parse Error.
