tracing: Add field parsing hist error for hist triggers
If the user specifies a nonexistent field for a hist trigger, the
current code correctly flags that as an error, but doesn't tell the
user what happened.
Fix this by invoking hist_err() with an appropriate message when
nonexistent fields are specified.
Before:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
-su: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
After:
# echo 'hist:keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs' >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
-su: echo: write error: Invalid argument
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/hist
ERROR: Couldn't find field: pid
Last command: keys=pid:ts0=common_timestamp.usecs
