perf parse-regs: Improve error output when faced with unknown register name
Add quotes around the register name and suggest using 'perf record -I?'
to get the list of available registers.
Before:
# perf record -Idi,xmm20,xmm1
Warning:
unknown register xmm20, check man page
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names
#
# perf record -Idi,xmm20,xmm1
Warning:
unknown register "xmm20", check man page or run "perf record -I?"
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names
