After installing kernel-debuginfo package, testcase passes. Subtest "BPF prologue generation" failed because, the "do_test" function returns "TEST_FAIL" without checking the error type returned by "parse_events_load_bpf_obj" function. Function parse_events_load_bpf_obj can also return error of type "-ENOENT" incase kernel-debuginfo package is not installed. Fix this by adding check for -ENOENT error.

But there could be other places in the code path for “parse_events_load_bpf_obj” which also returns ENOENT. In that case, for any exit that returns ENOENT, test will get skipped. Can we look at the logs, example we have this in commit logs: Rebuild with CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO=y, or install an appropriate debuginfo package. so as to decide whether to skip for debug info ?
