From 44a56040a0037a845d5fa218dffde464579f0cab Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Masami Hiramatsu Date: Tue, 4 Oct 2011 19:45:04 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf probe: Fix to show correct error string Fix perf probe to show correct error string when it fails to delete an event. The write(2) returns -1 if failed, and errno stores real error number.
