perf tests: Skip branch stack sampling test if brstack_bench symbol is missing
The test "Check branch stack sampling" depends on finding symbol brstack_bench (and several others) in perf, and fails if perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip the test instead. Example: Before: $ strip tools/perf/perf $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf` $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling' 112: Check branch stack sampling : --- start --- test child forked, pid 123741 Testing user branch stack sampling + grep -E -m1 ^brstack_bench\+[^ ]*/brstack_foo\+[^ ]*/IND_CALL/.*$ /tmp/__perf_test.program.5Dz1U/perf.script + cleanup + rm -rf /tmp/__perf_test.program.5Dz1U test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Check branch stack sampling: FAILED! After: $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling' 112: Check branch stack sampling : --- start --- test child forked, pid 125157 perf does not have symbol 'brstack_bench' perf is missing symbols - skipping test test child finished with -2 ---- end ---- Check branch stack sampling: Skip Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: German Gomez <german.gomez@arm.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231123075848.9652-7-adrian.hunter@intel.comSigned-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
