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.
Before:
# 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!
#
After:
# 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
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
