    perf test shell: Check if 'perf probe' is available, skip tests if not · 1ad5a182
    Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
    Add a library function that checks if 'perf probe' is built into the
    tool being tested, skipping tests that need it.
    
    Testing it on a system after removing the library needed to build
    'probe' as a perf subcommand:
    
      # perf test ping vfs_getname
      59: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Skip
      60: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping       : Skip
      61: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Skip
      62: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Skip
      # perf probe
      perf: 'probe' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
      #
    
    Now reinstalling elfutils-libelf-devel on this Fedora 26 system to
    rebuild perf and then retest this:
    
      # perf test ping vfs_getname
      60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
      61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping       : Ok
      62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
      63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames   : Ok
