From ecc4c5614b24ee8ebaa35b834b5768dc9302ee3e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2017 13:44:10 -0300 Subject: perf tools: Propagate perf_config() errors Previously these were being ignored, sometimes silently. Stop doing that, emitting debug messages and handling the errors.
