[PATCH 1/4] perf record: Remove newline character from perror() argument

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Tue Oct 26 2010 - 15:26:00 EST


From: Matt Fleming <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If we include a newline character in the string argument to perror()
then the output will be split across two lines like so,

Unable to read perf file descriptor
: No space left on device

Deleting the newline character prints a much more readable error,

Unable to read perf file descriptor: No space left on device
