perf annotate: Inform the user about objdump failures in --stdio
When the browser fails to annotate it is difficult for users to find out what went wrong. Add some errors for objdump failures that are displayed in the UI. Note it would be even better to handle these errors smarter, like falling back to the binary when the debug info is somehow corrupted. But for now just giving a better error is an improvement. Committer note: This works for --stdio, where errors just scroll by the screen: # perf annotate --stdio intel_idle Failure running objdump --start-address=0xffffffff81418290 --stop-address=0xffffffff814183ae -l -d --no-show-raw -S -C /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1 2>/dev/null|grep -v /root/.debug/.build-id/28/2777c262e6b3c0451375163c9a81c893218ab1|expand Percent | Source code & Disassembly of vmlinux for cycles:pp ------------------------------------------------------------------ And with that one can use that command line to try to find out more about what happened instead of getting a blank screen, an improvement. We need tho to improve this further to get it to work with other UIs, like --tui and --gtk, where it continues showing a blank screen, no messages, as the pr_err() used is enough just for --stdio.
