[PATCH 5/5] perf tests: Fix record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh when event exists

From: Sandipan Das
Date: Tue Jul 10 2018 - 09:58:57 EST


If the event 'probe_libc:inet_pton' already exists, this test
fails and deletes the existing event before exiting. This will
then pass for any subsequent executions.

Instead of skipping to deleting the existing event because of
failing to add a new event, a duplicate event is now created
and the script continues with the usual checks. Only the new
duplicate event that is created at the beginning of the test
is deleted as a part of the cleanups in the end. All existing
events remain as it is.

This can be observed on a powerpc64 system running Fedora 27 as
shown below.

# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton

Added new event:
probe_libc:inet_pton (on inet_pton in /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so)

Before:

# perf test -v "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping"

62: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 21302
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: FAILED!

# perf probe --list

After:

# perf test -v "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping"

62: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 21490
ping 21513 [035] 39357.565561: probe_libc:inet_pton_1: (7fffa4c623b0)

---- end ----
probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping: Ok

# perf probe --list

probe_libc:inet_pton (on __inet_pton@resolv/inet_pton.c in /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so)
