The BPF filter needs libbpf/BPF-skeleton support and root privilege.
Add error messages to help users understand the problem easily.
When it's not build with BPF support (make BUILD_BPF_SKEL=0).
$ sudo perf record -e cycles --filter "pid != 0" true
Error: BPF filter is requested but perf is not built with BPF.
Please make sure to build with libbpf and BPF skeleton.
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
--filter <filter>
event filter
When it supports BPF but runs without root or CAP_BPF. Note that it
also checks pinned BPF filters.
$ perf record -e cycles --filter "pid != 0" -o /dev/null true
Error: BPF filter only works for users with the CAP_BPF capability!
Please run 'perf record --setup-filter pin' as root first.
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
--filter <filter>
