That failure is on this line of kprobe_ftrace.tc:

echo _do_fork > set_ftrace_filter

This fails because on powerpc the function symbol has a dot prepended to its 
name:

# cat available_filter_functions | grep _do_fork
._do_fork

If I do s/_do_fork/._do_fork/ in kprobe_ftrace.tc then all ftrace kprobe 
tests pass:

$ sudo ./ftracetest test.d/kprobe/
