Enabling verbose option provided debug logs, which says debuginfo
needs to be installed. Snippet of verbose logs:

Here subtest, "BPF prologue generation" failed and
logs shows debuginfo is needed. 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.

Test result after the patch changes:

Hi Kajol,

Here, you have used ENOENT to skip the test. 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 ?
Kajol?
