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 ----

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.
sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`
Here are the steps to install the latest grep:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

The perf probe related tests like probe_vfs_getname.sh which
is in "tools/perf/tests/shell" directory have dependency on
debuginfo information in the kernel. Currently debuginfo
check is handled by skip_if_no_debuginfo function in the
file "lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh". skip_if_no_debuginfo function
looks for this specific error log from perf probe to skip
the testcase:
<<>>
Failed to find the path for the kernel|Debuginfo-analysis is
not supported
<>>
But in some case, like this one in powerpc, while running this
test, observed error logs is:
<<>>
The /lib/modules/<version>/build/vmlinux file has no debug information.
Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo
package.
Error: Failed to add events.
<<>>
Update the skip_if_no_debuginfo function to include the above
error, to skip the test in these scenarios too.

The commit 4d6101f5fd ("perf probe: Clarify error message about
not finding kernel modules debuginfo") changed the error message "Failed
to find the path for kernel" to "Failed to find the path for the
kernel".
Update the regex so that the tests still skip rather than fail when
kernel debug symbols aren't present.

This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel
which has the following prototype:
struct filename *getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty)
The 'filename' argument points to a filename located in user space memory.
Looking at commit 88903c4643 ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for
user-space string") the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is
accessed.
Output before:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67
66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
[root@m35lp76 perf]#
Output after:
[root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67

Comments from Masami Hiramatsu:
This bug doesn't happen on x86 or other archs on which user address
space and kernel address space is the same. On some arches (ppc64 in
this case?) user address space is partially or completely the same as
kernel address space.
(Yes, they switch the world when running into the kernel) In this case,
we need to use different data access functions for each space.
That is why I introduced the "ustring" type for kprobe events.
As far as I can see, Thomas's patch is sane. Thomas, could you show us
your result on your test environment?

Some kernels, like 4.19.13-300.fc29.x86_64 in fedora 29, fail with the
existing probe definition asking for the contents of result->name,
working when we ask for the 'filename' variable instead, so add a
fallback to that.
Now those tests are back working on fedora 29 systems with that kernel:
# perf test vfs_getname
65: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
66: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok

In some situations the vfs_getname is being added both as requested and
with a _1 suffix (inlines?):
probe:vfs_getname_1 (on getname_flags:63@acme/git/linux/fs/namei.c with pathname)
This ends up making the cleanup to miss that one, as it removes just
'probe:vfs_getname', which makes the second test to use this probe point
to fail, since it finds that leftover from the first test, use a
wildcard to remove both.

# perf test 60 61 62 63
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok

If that is the case, or if the required lib is not present, e.g.
elfutils-devel in Fedora systems, then just skip the tests requiring
DWARF analysis.

# rpm -e elfutils-devel
# perf test ping vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!
61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED!
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED!

# perf test vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Skip
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
#
Then, reinstalling elfutils-devel, rebuilding the tool and running
again:
# perf test vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok

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
