perf test trace: Remove set -e and print trace test's error messages
Currently perf test utilizes the set -e option in shell that exit
immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status, this prevents
further error handling and introduces ambiguity. This patch removes set
-e and prints the error message after invoking perf trace during perf
tests.
In my case, the command that exits with a non-zero status is perf
trace instead of grep, because it can't find the 'timer:hrtimer_setup'
tracepoint, see below.
Before:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : Running
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 783533
Checking if vmlinux exists
Tracing syscall landlock_add_rule
Tracing non-syscall tracepoint syscall
---- end(-1) ----

After:
$ sudo /tmp/perf test enum -vv
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests:
107: perf trace enum augmentation tests : Running
--- start ---

Checking if vmlinux exists

[tracepoint failure] Failed to trace tracepoint timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start, output:
event syntax error: 'timer:hrtimer_setup,timer:hrtimer_start'
\___ unknown tracepoint
Error: File /sys/kernel/tracing//events/timer/hrtimer_setup not found.
Hint: Perhaps this kernel misses some CONFIG_ setting to enable this feature?.
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events
Usage: perf trace [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] [<command>]
or: perf trace record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]
-e, --event <event> event/syscall selector. use 'perf list' to list available events---- end(-1) ----
