trace_event__tp_format() encoded failure with ERR_PTR() while
trace_event__tp_format_id() returned a plain NULL when tep_find_event()
found nothing, and tp_format() itself returned NULL when
tep_parse_format() failed, as its return value was discarded. Callers
test with IS_ERR(), which NULL does not satisfy, so those two failures
were taken for success. In syscall__read_info() that leads straight to:
if (IS_ERR(sc->tp_format)) {
...
return err;
}
if (syscall__alloc_arg_fmts(sc, sc->tp_format->format.nr_fields - 1))
which dereferences NULL when a format file fails to parse.
Mixing encoded error pointers with pointers that are compared against
NULL is what allows that to happen, so drop ERR_PTR() here and report
failures the way the rest of these paths already expect, by returning
NULL with errno set. evsel__tp_format() no longer has to translate the
error back into errno before printing it with %m, and the remaining
callers become NULL tests.
syscall__scnprintf_args() gains back its fallback of printing raw
arguments: it asked for IS_ERR(sc->tp_format), but syscall__read_info()
had already replaced the error pointer with NULL, so the branch could
never be taken.
