[PATCH bpf-next v2] selftests/bpf: skip the second half of get_branch_snapshot in vm
From: Song Liu <hidden>

Subsystem:
bpf [general] (safe dynamic programs and tools), bpf [selftests] (test runners & infrastructure), kernel selftest framework, the rest · Maintainers:

VMs running on latest kernel support LBR. However, bpf_get_branch_snapshot
couldn't stop the LBR before too many entries are flushed. Skip the
hit/waste test for VMs before we find a proper fix for LBR in VM.
Fixes: 025bd7c753aa ("selftests/bpf: Add test for bpf_get_branch_snapshot")
Signed-off-by: Song Liu <redacted>

Changes v1 => v2:
1. Move the is_hypervisor() check to later in the test, so that we still
Run the first half of the test in vm
2. Use strncmp instead of strstr. (Andrii)
3. Fix the Fixes tag. (Andrii)
