When histograms are not configured in the kernel, the ftracetest histogram
selftests should return "unsupported" and not "Failed". To detect this, the
test scripts have:
FEATURE=`grep hist events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger`
if [ -z "$FEATURE" ]; then
echo "hist trigger is not supported"
exit_unsupported
fi
The problem is that '-e' is in effect and any error will cause the program
to terminate. The grep for 'hist' fails, because it is not compiled it (thus
unsupported), but because grep has an error code for failing to find the
string, it causes the program to terminate, and is marked as a failed test.
Namhyung Kim recommended to test for the "hist" file located in
events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist instead, as it is more inline with the
other checks. As the hist file is only created if the histogram feature is
enabled, that is a valid check.

Add the hist trigger testcases for ftracetest.
This checks the basic histogram trigger behaviors like as;
- Histogram trigger itself
- Histogram with string key
- Histogram with compound keys
- Histogram with sort key
- Histogram trigger modifiers (execname, hex, syscall)
- Multiple histograms on an event
- Named histogram
- Named histogram on multi events
Here is the test result.
----
# ./ftracetest test.d/trigger/*hist*.tc
=== Ftrace unit tests ===
[1] event trigger - test histogram modifiers [PASS]
[2] event trigger - test histogram trigger [PASS]
[3] event trigger - test multiple histogram triggers [PASS]
# of passed: 3
# of failed: 0
# of unresolved: 0
# of untested: 0
# of unsupported: 0
# of xfailed: 0
# of undefined(test bug): 0
