[PATCH 1/2] tools/perf: Update the exit error codes in function try_to_find_probe_trace_event

[PATCH 1/2] tools/perf: Update the exit error codes in function try_to_find_probe_trace_event

[Athira Rajeev]

The function "try_to_find_probe_trace_events" uses return
error code as ENOENT in two places. First place is after
"open_debuginfo" when opening debuginfo fails and secondly,
after when not finding the probe point. This function is
invoked during bpf load and there are other exit points in
this code path which returns ENOENT. This makes it difficult
to understand the exact reason for exit.

Patches changes the exit code from ENOENT to:
- ENODATA when it fails to find debuginfo
- ENODEV when it fails to find probe point

[PATCH 2/2] perf test bpf: Skip test if kernel-debuginfo is not present

[Athira Rajeev]

Perf BPF filter test fails in environment where "kernel-debuginfo"
is not installed.

Test failure logs:
<<>>
42: BPF filter                            :
42.1: Basic BPF filtering                 : Ok
42.2: BPF pinning                         : Ok
42.3: BPF prologue generation             : FAILED!
<<>>

Enabling verbose option provided debug logs, which says debuginfo
needs to be installed. Snippet of verbose logs:

<<>>
42.3: BPF prologue generation                                       :

<<>>
Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo
package.
bpf_probe: failed to convert perf probe events
Failed to add events selected by BPF
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
BPF filter subtest 3: FAILED!
<<>>

Here subtest, "BPF prologue generation" failed and
logs shows debuginfo is needed. After installing
kernel-debuginfo package, testcase passes.

Subtest "BPF prologue generation" failed because, the "do_test"
function returns "TEST_FAIL" without checking the error type
returned by "parse_events_load_bpf_obj" function.
Function parse_events_load_bpf_obj can also return error of type
"-ENODATA" incase kernel-debuginfo package is not installed. Fix this
by adding check for -ENODATA error.

Test result after the patch changes:

I'll apply this to perf/core, for the next merge window, as its more an
improvement than a fix, i.e. we know why it fails, we're just improving
the user reporting to make that clear at first sight.

Hi Arnaldo,

Just wanted to check when we can have these two patches in perf/core.
I didn't find these in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/?h=tmp.perf/core
Not sure if I missed.

Thanks
