<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">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

Skipping perf bench breakpoint enable: No hardware support
Result on Power10 system with patch changes:
