Test “Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames” fails in
environment with missing libtraceevent support as below:
82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 304726
Recording open file:
event syntax error: 'probe:vfs_getname*'
\___ unsupported tracepoint
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: FAILED!
The environment has debuginfo but is missing the libtraceevent devel.
Hence perf is compiled without libtraceevent support. The test tries to
add probe “probe:vfs_getname” and then uses it with “perf record”. This
fails at function “parse_events_add_tracepoint" due to missing
libtraceevent.
Similarly "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test slso
fails with same reason.
Add a function in 'perf test shell' library to check if perf record with
—dry-run reports any error on missing support for libtraceevent. Update
both the tests to use this new function “skip_no_probe_record_support”
before proceeding With using probe point via perf builtin record.
With the change,
82: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 305014
Recording open file:
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: Skip
81: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 305036
libtraceevent is necessary for tracepoint support
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Skip

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
