Subject: [PATCH] perf test bpf: Skip test if kernel-debuginfo is not present
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 21:12:30 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221028154230.140709-1-kjain@linux.ibm.com> (raw)

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                                       :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 28218
<<>>
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
"-ENOENT" incase kernel-debuginfo package is not installed. Fix this
by adding check for -ENOENT error.

Test result after the patch changes:

Test failure logs:
<<>>
 42: BPF filter                 :
 42.1: Basic BPF filtering      : Ok
 42.2: BPF pinning              : Ok
 42.3: BPF prologue generation  : Skip (clang/debuginfo isn't
installed or environment missing BPF support)
