[PATCH] selftests/ftrace: Use readelf to find entry point in uprobe test
From: Heiko Carstens
Date: Thu Feb 20 2025 - 08:01:24 EST
The uprobe events test fails on s390, but also on x86 (Fedora 41). The
problem appears to be that there is an assumption that adding a uprobe to
the beginning of the executable mapping of /bin/sh is sufficient to trigger
a uprobe event when /bin/sh is executed.
This assumption is not necessarily true. Therefore use "readelf -h" to find
the entry point address of /bin/sh and use this address when adding the
uprobe event.
This adds a dependency to readelf which is not always installed. Therefore
add a check and exit with exit_unresolved if it is not installed.
