If it fails we need to check what was the reason, what were the lines
that didn't match the expected format, so:
root@number:~# perf test -v "trace exit race"
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 2028724
Lines not matching the expected regexp: ' +[0-9]+\.[0-9]+ +true/[0-9]+ syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group\(\)$':
0.000 :2028750/2028750 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
---- end(-1) ----
110: perf trace exit race : FAILED!
root@number:~#
In this case we're not resolving the process COMM for some reason and
fallback to printing just the pid/tid, this will be fixed in a followup
patch.
Howard Chu spotted a problem with single code surrounding a regexp, that
made the test always fail, but since there were some failures when I
tested (COMM not being resolved in some of the results) the end inverse
grep would show some lines and thus didn't notice the single quote
problem.
He also provided a patch to test if less than the number of expected
matches took place but all of them with the expected output, in which
case the inverse grep wouldn't show anything, confusing the tester.

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.
