Commit Message

Based on commit 7d54a4acd8c1 ("perf test: Skip watchpoint
tests if no watchpoints available"), hardware breakpoints
are not available for power9 platform and because of that
perf bench breakpoint run fails on power9 platform.
Add code to check for the return value of perf_event_open()
in breakpoint run and skip the perf bench breakpoint run,
if hardware breakpoints are not available.

Result on power9 system before patch changes:
[command]# perf bench breakpoint thread
perf_event_open: No such device

Result on power9 system after patch changes:
[command]# ./perf bench breakpoint thread
Skipping perf bench breakpoint thread: No hardware support

With this patch applied perf bench breakpoint test works correctly on Power9 and Power10.

Result on Power9 system with patch changes:
[root@]# ./perf bench breakpoint all
# Running breakpoint/thread benchmark...
Skipping perf bench breakpoint thread: No hardware support

# Running breakpoint/enable benchmark...
Skipping perf bench breakpoint enable: No hardware support

Result on Power10 system with patch changes:
[root@]# ./perf bench breakpoint all
# Running breakpoint/thread benchmark...
# Created/joined 10 threads with 1 breakpoints and 1 parallelism
      Total time: 0.001 [sec]

      115.100000 usecs/op
      115.100000 usecs/op/cpu

# Running breakpoint/enable benchmark...
# Enabled/disabled breakpoint 10 time with 0 passive and 0 active threads
      Total time: 0.000 [sec]

        2.800000 usecs/op

Thanks for fixing this to not report an error. A minor nit below, but 
otherwise:

Should we instead do 'exit(0)' here to stop further benchmarks? Perhaps:
  err(EXIT_SUCCESS, "Skipping perf bench breakpoint thread: No hardware support");

EXIT_SUCCESS looks weird, but should help document that this is not an 
error.

In tools/perf/tests/tests.h is:

enum {
       TEST_OK   =  0,
       TEST_FAIL = -1,
       TEST_SKIP = -2,
};

So I think the EXIT_SUCCESS/0 should really be TEST_OK, but I think it
would clearer if these cases were TEST_SKIP.

Thanks,
Ian
