[PATCH 2/2] perf/test: Fix perf test 89 on x86

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Tue Dec 13 2022 - 05:37:48 EST


From: Thomas Richter <richter@xxxxxxxxxx>

perf test '89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping'
fails on x86. Debugging revealed a changed stack trace for the
ping command using probes:

ping 35729 [002] 8006.365063: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ff9603e7c0)
12be50 __GI___inet_pton+0x0 (/usr/lib64/libc.so.6)
4fca main+0x139b (/usr/bin/ping)

The line getaddrinfo.... in the call stack is gone.
It was introduced with glibc version 2.36.8 released
with Fedora 37.

Output before on x86
# ./perf test 89
89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : FAILED!
#

Output after on x86:
# ./perf test 89
89: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok
#
