Namhyung Kim 38672c5033 perf test: Skip perf trace tests when running as non-root
perf trace requires root because it needs to use tracepoints and BPF.
Skip those test when it's not run as root.

Before:
  $ perf test trace
   15: Parse sched tracepoints fields                                  : Skip (permissions)
   80: perf ftrace tests                                               : Skip
  105: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : FAILED!
  106: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : FAILED!
  107: perf trace exit race                                            : FAILED!
  118: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Skip
  125: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip
  127: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples      : Skip
  132: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : FAILED!

After:
  $ perf test trace
   15: Parse sched tracepoints fields                                  : Skip (permissions)
   80: perf ftrace tests                                               : Skip
  105: perf trace enum augmentation tests                              : Skip
  106: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Skip
  107: perf trace exit race                                            : Skip
  118: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping                 : Skip
  125: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: Skip
  127: Check Arm SPE trace data recording and synthesized samples      : Skip
  132: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname          : Skip

Howard Chu 0255338d69 perf trace: Add tests for BTF general augmentation
Currently, we only have 'perf trace' augmentation tests for enum
arguments. This patch adds tests for more general syscall arguments,
such as struct pointers, strings, and buffers.

These tests utilize the 'perf config' system to configure 'the perf trace'
output, as suggested by Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>.

Committer testing:

  root@number:~# perf test "BTF general"
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  root@number:~# perf test -v "BTF general"
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  root@number:~# perf test -vv "BTF general"
  109: perf trace BTF general tests:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 1410451
  Checking if vmlinux BTF exists
  Testing perf trace's string augmentation
  Testing perf trace's buffer augmentation
  Testing perf trace's struct augmentation
  ---- end(0) ----
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  root@number:~#

It still fails sometimes, for instance when tested with:

  root@number:~# perf stat --null -r 10 perf test "BTF general"
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : FAILED!
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : FAILED!
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok
  109: perf trace BTF general tests                                    : Ok

   Performance counter stats for 'perf test BTF general' (10 runs):

               2.148 +- 0.293 seconds time elapsed  ( +- 13.63% )

  root@number:~#

But we can go on from here and fix things up with followup patches.
