[PATCH 1/1] perf tests shell trace_exit_race: Show what went wrong in verbose mode

From: arnaldo . melo
Date: Thu Nov 14 2024 - 16:19:41 EST


This is in the tmp.perf-tools-next branch at:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git

I'll later add another patch adding the --no-comm to the 'perf trace'
command line and will adjust the regexp.

- Arnaldo

If it fails we need to check what was the reason, what were the lines
that didn't match the expected format, so:

root@number:~# perf test -v "trace exit race"
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2028724
Lines not matching the expected regexp: ' +[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ +true/[0-9]+ syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group\(\)$':
0.000 :2028750/2028750 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
---- end(-1) ----
110: perf trace exit race : FAILED!
root@number:~#

In this case we're not resolving the process COMM for some reason and
fallback to printing just the pid/tid, this will be fixed in a followup
patch.
