ftracetest: Fix hist unsupported result in hist selftests When histograms are not configured in the kernel, the ftracetest histogram selftests should return "unsupported" and not "Failed". To detect this, the test scripts have: FEATURE=`grep hist events/sched/sched_process_fork/trigger` if [ -z "$FEATURE" ]; then echo "hist trigger is not supported" exit_unsupported fi The problem is that '-e' is in effect and any error will cause the program to terminate. The grep for 'hist' fails, because it is not compiled it (thus unsupported), but because grep has an error code for failing to find the string, it causes the program to terminate, and is marked as a failed test. Namhyung Kim recommended to test for the "hist" file located in events/sched/sched_process_fork/hist instead, as it is more inline with the other checks. As the hist file is only created if the histogram feature is enabled, that is a valid check.
