The "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" test installs a uprobe and uses perf record/script to check the backtrace. Currently even if the "perf record" fails, the test reports success. Logs below: # ./perf test -v "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" 81: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : --- start --- test child forked, pid 304211 failed to open /tmp/perf.data.Btf: No such file or directory test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok Fix this by adding check for presence of perf.data file before proceeding with "perf script". With the patch changes, test reports fail correctly. # ./perf test -v "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping" 81: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : --- start --- test child forked, pid 304358 FAIL: perf record failed to create "/tmp/perf.data.Uoi" test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: FAILED!

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.
