Hi,

Thanks for your help.
Yes it was a sub version issue.

Earlier, while building the kernel I left the SUBLEVEL as blank.

make -j8 bindeb-pkg SUBLEVEL=20

After passing the correct sublevel now the test is working.

But still following are failing:

16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      : FAILED!
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : FAILED!


This is the error I get:

16: Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems      :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 7637
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named perf
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Try 'import perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED!


Looking at the vmlinux_path (8 entries long)
symsrc__init: cannot get elf header.
Failed to find the path for kernel: Invalid ELF file
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!



Thanks,
Pintu
