Hi Ingo,
Getting back at pushing some stuff, should not conflict with Jiri's
perf/core and was branched from tip/perf/core.
Please let me know if you find any issue,
- Arnaldo
The following changes since commit 82b897782d10fcc4930c9d4a15b175348fdd2871:

perf timechart: Reflow documentation (2014-06-10 10:03:18 -0300)
----------------------------------------------------------------
perf/core improvements:
User visible:
. Improve 'perf probe' error messages, moving some diagnostic messages to
only appear in --verbose mode and fixing up some error reporting related
to variables and struct members. (Masami Hiramatsu)
. Reflow 'perf timechart' man page. (Stanislav Fomichev)
Developer stuff:
. Be more precise when reporting missing libraries in a static tool build.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)
. Show error messages from the multiple make invoked from 'make build-test'.
(Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo)

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>
Show error code and description only in verbose mode if 'perf probe'
command failed.
Current 'perf probe' shows error code with final error message, and that
is meaningless for many users.
This changes error messages to show the error code and its description
only in verbose mode (-v option).
Without this patch:
-----
# perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
Error: Failed to add events. (-2)
-----
With this patch, normally the message doesn't show the misterious error
number:
-----
# perf probe -a do_execve@hoge
Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
Error: Failed to add events.
-----
And in verbose mode, it also shows additional error messages as below:
-----
# perf probe -va do_execve@hoge
probe-definition(0): do_execve@hoge
symbol:do_execve file:hoge line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
0 arguments
Looking at the vmlinux_path (6 entries long)
Using /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux for symbols
Open Debuginfo file: /lib/modules/3.15.0-rc8+/build/vmlinux
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Probe point 'do_execve@hoge' not found.
Error: Failed to add events. Reason: No such file or directory (Code: -2)

1.9.3
From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>
Fix an error message when failed to find given address in --vars
mode.
Without this fix, perf probe -V doesn't show the final "Error"
message if it fails to find given source line. Moreover, it
tells it fails to find "variables" instead of the source line.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find variables at foo@bar (0)
-----
The result also shows mysterious error code. Actually the error
returns 0 or -ENOENT means that it just fails to find the address
of given source line. (0 means there is no matching address,
and -ENOENT means there is an entry(DIE) but it has no instance,
e.g. an empty inlined function)
This fixes it to show what happened and the final error message
as below.
-----
# perf probe -V foo@bar
Failed to find the address of foo@bar
Error: Failed to show vars.

From: Masami Hiramatsu <[email protected]>
Improve error messages of 'perf probe --line' mode.
Currently 'perf probe' shows the "Debuginfo analysis failed" message with
an error code when the given symbol is not found:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Debuginfo analysis failed. (-2)
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
But -2 (-ENOENT) means that the given source line or function was not
found. With this patch, 'perf probe' shows the correct error message:
-----
# perf probe -L page_cgroup_init_flatmem
Specified source line is not found.
Error: Failed to show lines.
-----
There is also another debug error code is shown in the same function
after get_real_path(). This removes that too.

Improve the error message if we can not find given member in the given
structure. Currently perf probe shows a wrong error message as below.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
Failed to find 'result' in this function.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
-----
The first message is correct, but the second one is not, since we didn't
fail to find a variable but fails to find the member of given variable.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "result->BOGUS"
result(type:filename) has no member BOGUS.
Error: Failed to add events. (-22)
-----
With this patch, the error message shows only the first one. And if we
really failed to find given variable, it tells us so.
-----
# perf probe getname_flags:65 "BOGUS"
Failed to find 'BOGUS' in this function.
