Athira Rajeev 766b0beedb perf tests shell: Fix check for libtracevent support
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 ----
  probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Skip

README

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.
