From: Howard Chu
Date: Sat May 17 2025 - 12:33:33 EST


Remove set -e and print error messages in BTF general tests.

Before:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test btf -vv
108: perf trace BTF general tests:
108: perf trace BTF general tests : Running
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 889299
Checking if vmlinux BTF exists
Testing perf trace's string augmentation
String augmentation test failed
---- end(-1) ----
108: perf trace BTF general tests : FAILED!

After:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test btf -vv
108: perf trace BTF general tests:
108: perf trace BTF general tests : Running
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 886551
Checking if vmlinux BTF exists
Testing perf trace's string augmentation
String augmentation test failed, output:
:886566/886566 renameat2(CWD, "/tmp/file1_RcMa", CWD, "/tmp/file2_RcMa", NOREPLACE) = 0---- end(-1) ----
