The 'perf test' case "probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping"
fails on s390x. The reason is the 'realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq' line
which returns 2 libraries:
root@s35lp76 shell]# realpath /lib64/ld*.so.* | uniq
/usr/lib64/ld-2.26.so
/usr/lib64/ld_pre_smc.so.1.0.1
[root@s35lp76 shell]
This output makes the "perf probe" command lines invalid.
Use ldd tool to find out the libraries required by "bash" and check if
symbol "inet_pton" is part of the "libc" library. Some distros do not
have a /lib64 directory.
I have also added a check for the existence of an IPv6 network interface
before it is being used.
Committer changes:
We can't really use ldd for libc, as in some systems, such as x86_64, it
has hardlinks and then ldd sees one and the kernel the other, so grep
for libc in /proc/self/maps to get the one we'll receive from
PERF_RECORD_MMAP.
Thomas checked this change and acked it.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
