Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] improve btrace enable error reporting
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2018 14:14:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1516976072-19282-1-git-send-email-markus.t.metzger@intel.com> (raw)

Recording may fail for a variety of reasons.  Improve the error
messages by stating more clearly what operation failed and try to give
a reason why it failed.

Further align the error messages for native and remote debugging.

Changes to v1:
  - move helper classes into gdb/common/
  - add unit tests for helpers
  - simplify helpers

Markus Metzger (7):
  common: add scoped_fd
  common: add scoped_mmap
  btrace: prepare for throwing exceptions when enabling btrace
  btrace, gdbserver: use exceptions to convey btrace enable/disable
    errors
  btrace, gdbserver: remove the to_supports_btrace target method
  btrace: improve enable error messages
  btrace: check perf_event_paranoid
