tools lib api debugfs: Check for tracefs when reporting errors
Now that we have two mountpoints, one for debugfs and another, for tracefs, we end up needing to check permissions for both, so, on a system with default config we were always asking the user to check the permission of the debugfs mountpoint, even when it was already sufficient. Fix it. E.g.: $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1 Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit) Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug' $ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1 Error: No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/raw_syscalls/sys_(enter|exit) Hint: Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing' $ sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/tracing $ trace -e nanosleep usleep 1 0.326 ( 0.061 ms): usleep/11961 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffef1081c50) = 0 $ Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-0viljeuhc7q84ic8kobsna43@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
