On the HiSilicon platform, there is one ETM per logic core. When setting up SMT, not every process has an ETM. So the path ".../cs_etm/cpux/trcidr/trcidr0" does not exist, the function perf_pmu__scan_file() return an error. However, the command 'perf record' will returns silently and don't print.
After this patch, log a error when read fails that makes it easy for users to debug.
root@localhost:/# perf record -e /cs_etm/@ultra_smb0/ -C 3 uname -a cs_etm: can't read file cpu3/trcidr/trcidr0 root@localhost:/#
