Commit f231af789b ("perf test shell: Fix check open filename arg using
'perf trace' on s390x") added an exception for s390x to use openat()
instead of open() in the test that intercepts a open syscall to look for
the filename argument as obtained by the vfs_getname 'perf probe' it
puts in place at the getname_flags kernel function.
Its not just s390x that uses openat() instead of open(), so use 'perf
list' to look for the syscall:sys_enter_open(at)? present in the system
being tested instead of checking if the system is s390x.
In fact Namhyung pointed out that glibc 2.26 changed this behaviour, as
described in https://lwn.net/Articles/738694/, so systems where glibc is
>= 2.26 will need this patch for this test to work, which already took
place in some distros for architectures such as s390x, while Fedora 26
x86_64 is at glibc 2.25, i.e. still uses open().

This 'perf test' case fails on s390x. The 'touch' command on s390x uses
the 'openat' system call to open the file named on the command line:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf probe -l
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72@fs/namei.c with pathname)
[root@s35lp76 perf]# perf trace -e open touch /tmp/abc
0.400 ( 0.015 ms): touch/27542 open(filename:
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, flags: CLOEXEC) = 3
[root@s35lp76 perf]#
There is no 'open' system call for file '/tmp/abc'. Instead the 'openat'
system call is used:
[root@s35lp76 perf]# strace touch /tmp/abc
execve("/usr/bin/touch", ["touch", "/tmp/abc"], 0x3ffd547ec98
/* 30 vars */) = 0
[...]
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/abc", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_NOCTTY|O_NONBLOCK, 0666) = 3
[...]
On s390x the 'egrep' command does not find a matching pattern and
returns an error.
Fix this for s390x create a platform dependent command line to enable
the 'perf probe' call to listen to the 'openat' system call and get the
expected output.

Add a library function that checks if 'perf probe' is built into the
tool being tested, skipping tests that need it.
Testing it on a system after removing the library needed to build
'probe' as a perf subcommand:
# perf test ping vfs_getname
59: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
60: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Skip
61: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Skip
62: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Skip
# perf probe
perf: 'probe' is not a perf-command. See 'perf --help'.
#
Now reinstalling elfutils-libelf-devel on this Fedora 26 system to
rebuild perf and then retest this:
# perf test ping vfs_getname
60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok
61: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping : Ok
62: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
63: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok

Uses the 'perf test shell' library to add probe:vfs_getname to the
system then use it with 'perf trace' using 'touch' to write to a temp
file, then checks that that was captured by the vfs_getname was used by
'perf trace', that already handles "probe:vfs_getname" if present, and
used in the "open" syscall "filename" argument beautifier.
Testing it:
# perf test "trace + vfs_getname"
61: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
#
# perf test -v "trace + vfs_getname"
61: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 30846
Added new event:
probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string)
You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:
perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1
2.237 ( 0.012 ms): touch/30855 open(filename: /tmp/temporary_file.kmoWQ, flags: CREAT|NOCTTY|NONBLOCK|WRONLY, mode: IRUGO|IWUGO) = 3
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok
