perf data symbol test depends on finding symbol buf1 in perf, and fails if perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip the test instead. Example: Before: $ strip tools/perf/perf $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf` $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'data symbol' 113: Test data symbol : --- start --- test child forked, pid 125646 Recording workload... [ perf record: Woken up 3 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.577 MB /tmp/__perf_test.perf.data.Jhbdp (7794 samples) ] Cleaning up files... test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Test data symbol: FAILED! After: $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'data symbol' 113: Test data symbol : --- start --- test child forked, pid 125747 perf does not have symbol 'buf1' perf is missing symbols - skipping test test child finished with -2 ---- end ---- Test data symbol: Skip Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Acked-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Cc: German Gomez <german.gomez@arm.com> Cc: James Clark <james.clark@arm.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231123075848.9652-9-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
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 Restructured Text 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.
