tools/perf: Handle perftool-testsuite_probe testcases fail when kernel debuginfo is not present
Running "perftool-testsuite_probe" fails as below:
./perf test -v "perftool-testsuite_probe"
83: perftool-testsuite_probe : FAILED
There are three fails:
1. Regexp not found: "\s*probe:inode_permission(?:_\d+)?\s+\(on inode_permission(?:[:\+][0-9A-Fa-f]+)?@.+\)"
-- [ FAIL ] -- perf_probe :: test_adding_kernel :: listing added probe :: perf probe -l (output regexp parsing)
2. Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_mknod"
Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_create"
Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_rmdir"
Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_link"
Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_write"
-- [ FAIL ] -- perf_probe :: test_adding_kernel :: wildcard adding support (command exitcode + output regexp parsing)
3. Regexp not found: "Failed to find"
Regexp not found: "somenonexistingrandomstuffwhichisalsoprettylongorevenlongertoexceed64"
Regexp not found: "in this function|at this address"
Line did not match any pattern: "The /boot/vmlinux file has no debug information."
Line did not match any pattern: "Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo package."
These three tests depends on kernel debug info.
1. Fail 1 expects file name along with probe which needs debuginfo
2. Fail 2 :
perf probe -nf --max-probes=512 -a 'vfs_* $params'
Debuginfo-analysis is not supported.
Error: Failed to add events.
3. Fail 3 :
perf probe 'vfs_read somenonexistingrandomstuffwhichisalsoprettylongorevenlongertoexceed64'
Debuginfo-analysis is not supported.
Error: Failed to add events.
There is already helper function skip_if_no_debuginfo in
lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh which does perf probe and returns
"2" if debug info is not present. Use the skip_if_no_debuginfo
function and skip only the three tests which needs debuginfo
based on the result.
