Leo Yan 9a7b618ef6 perf test record+probe_libc_inet_pton: Make test resilient
The test failed back and forth due to the call chain being heavily
impacted by the libc, which varies across different architectures and
distros.

The libc contains the symbols for "gaih_inet" and "getaddrinfo" in some
cases, but not always.  Moreover, these symbols can be either normal
symbols or dynamic symbols, making it difficult to decide the call chain
entries due to the symbols are inconsistent.

To fix the issue, this commit identifies three call chain entries are
always present.  These entries are matched by iterating through the
lines in the "perf script" result.  The recording attribute max-stack is
set to 4 for the possible maximum call chain depth.

After:

  # perf test -vF pton

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.
