Athira Rajeev 90d32e9201 tools/perf: Handle perftool-testsuite_probe testcases fail when kernel debuginfo is not present
Running "perftool-testsuite_probe" fails as below:

	./perf test -v "perftool-testsuite_probe"
	83: perftool-testsuite_probe  : FAILED

There are three fails:

1. Regexp not found: "\s*probe:inode_permission(?:_\d+)?\s+\(on inode_permission(?:[:\+][0-9A-Fa-f]+)?@.+\)"
   -- [ FAIL ] -- perf_probe :: test_adding_kernel :: listing added probe :: perf probe -l (output regexp parsing)

2. Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_mknod"
   Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_create"
   Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_rmdir"
   Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_link"
   Regexp not found: "probe:vfs_write"
   -- [ FAIL ] -- perf_probe :: test_adding_kernel :: wildcard adding support (command exitcode + output regexp parsing)

3. Regexp not found: "Failed to find"
   Regexp not found: "somenonexistingrandomstuffwhichisalsoprettylongorevenlongertoexceed64"
   Regexp not found: "in this function|at this address"
   Line did not match any pattern: "The /boot/vmlinux file has no debug information."
   Line did not match any pattern: "Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo package."

These three tests depends on kernel debug info.
1. Fail 1 expects file name along with probe which needs debuginfo
2. Fail 2 :
    perf probe -nf --max-probes=512 -a 'vfs_* $params'
    Debuginfo-analysis is not supported.
     Error: Failed to add events.

3. Fail 3 :
   perf probe 'vfs_read somenonexistingrandomstuffwhichisalsoprettylongorevenlongertoexceed64'
   Debuginfo-analysis is not supported.
   Error: Failed to add events.

There is already helper function skip_if_no_debuginfo in
lib/probe_vfs_getname.sh which does perf probe and returns
"2" if debug info is not present. Use the skip_if_no_debuginfo
function and skip only the three tests which needs debuginfo
based on the result.

With the patch:

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
