Hi,
perf test bpf prologue generation is failing.
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : FAILED!
Try to find probe point from debuginfo.
Matched function: null_lseek [105be32]
Probe point found: null_lseek+0
Searching 'file' variable in context.
Converting variable file into trace event.
converting f_mode in file
file(type:file) has no member f_mode.
An error occurred in debuginfo analysis (-22).
bpf_probe: failed to convert perf probe eventsFailed to add events
selected by BPF
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Test BPF filter subtest 1: FAILED!
Is there any fix available for this issue?
I searched 4.15, but could not relate any of the patches to this.
Thanks,
Pintu
