Silently not offering a valid file? At this point I think you should
warn the user and bail out.

Why is this? At the very least a warning has to be given to the user
that way too many perf.data files are present, so only the first N are
in the menu.

Here you return an error, but will the user get any warning on the
caller of this function if it returns -1?

... no, so it will silently continue and the user will get confused.
