perf test bpf: Skip test if clang is not present
Perf BPF filter test fails in environment where "clang" is not installed. Test failure logs: <<>> 42: BPF filter : 42.1: Basic BPF filtering : Skip 42.2: BPF pinning : FAILED! 42.3: BPF prologue generation : FAILED! <<>> Enabling verbose option provided debug logs which says clang/llvm needs to be installed. Snippet of verbose logs: <<>> 42.2: BPF pinning : --- start --- test child forked, pid 61423 ERROR: unable to find clang. Hint: Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF. Check your $PATH <<logs_here>> Failed to compile test case: 'Basic BPF llvm compile' Unable to get BPF object, fix kbuild first test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- BPF filter subtest 2: FAILED! <<>> Here subtests, "BPF pinning" and "BPF prologue generation" failed and logs shows clang/llvm is needed. After installing clang, testcase passes. Reason on why subtest failure happens though logs has proper debug information: Main function __test__bpf calls test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj by passing 4th argument as true ( 4th arguments maps to parameter "force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj ). But this will cause test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj to skip the check for clang/llvm. Snippet of code part which checks for clang based on parameter "force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj: <<>> if (!force && (!llvm_param.user_set_param && <<>> Since force is set to "false", test won't get skipped and fails to compile test case. The BPF code compilation needs clang, So pass the fourth argument as "false" and also skip the test if reason for return is "TEST_SKIP" After the patch: <<>> 42: BPF filter : 42.1: Basic BPF filtering : Skip 42.2: BPF pinning : Skip 42.3: BPF prologue generation : Skip <<>> Fixes: ba1fae43 ("perf test: Add 'perf test BPF'") Reviewed-by: Kajol Jain <kjain@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Athira Jajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Cc: Madhavan Srinivasan <maddy@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Cc: Nageswara R Sastry <rnsastry@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220511115438.84032-1-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
