This should be "Debuginfo-analysis is not supported with -p/--pid option.\n"

And I found a small bug.

# ./perf probe -vf -p 3199 "setenv %ax"
probe-definition(0): setenv %ax
symbol:setenv file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null)
parsing arg: %ax into %ax
1 arguments
Opening /debug/tracing/uprobe_events write=1
Add new event:
Writing event: p:probe_3199/setenv 3199:0x47e680
 %ax
Failed to write event: Invalid argument
  Error: Failed to add events. (-1)

# ./perf probe -l
  probe_3199:setenv    (on 3199:0x000000000047e680)

When writing an event, there is a "\n" right after probe point (3199:0x47e680\n)

Here is a "\n".
