Martin Kaiser ca84302458 selftests/ftrace: refactor eprobes test to fix argument checks
[ Upstream commit 6e3abef2a2 ]

The add/remove eprobe test installs an eprobe for the openat syscall and
runs ls. It checks the filenames that were opened by ls against a
whitelist and a blacklist.

Commit 206b25c090 ("tracing: eprobe: read the complete FILTER_PTR_STRING
pointer") fixed access to some string fields in eprobes. This triggers
test failures as the blacklist does not allow relative paths for the
openat parameters.

What makes this test unstable is the fact that the openat calls vary a
lot between different systems.

Refactor the test to make it more robust. "cd <directory>" will issue a
chdir syscall with the target directory as parameter. Set an eprobe on
the sys_enter_chdir event and filter for the exact directory name. Allow
(fault) as fallback.

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.
