From 3ca2fb497440a3c8294f9df0ce7b2c3c9a1c5875 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tianyi Liu Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2022 16:09:32 +0800 Subject: bpftool: Fix error message of strerror strerror() expects a positive errno, however variable err will never be positive when an error occurs. This causes bpftool to output too many "unknown error", even a simple "file not exist" error can not get an accurate message. This patch fixed all "strerror(err)" patterns in bpftool. Specially in btf.c#L823, hashmap__append() is an internal function of libbpf and will not change errno, so there's a little difference. Some libbpf_get_error() calls are kept for return values. Changes since v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/SY4P282MB1084B61CD8671DFA395AA8579D539@SY4P282MB1084.AUSP282.PROD.OUTLOOK.COM/ Check directly for NULL values instead of calling libbpf_get_error().
