[Bug testsuite/11798] New: early sanity check for testsuite to assert debuginfo presence

[fche at redhat dot com]

The testsuite can proceed quite a way without prerequisite debuginfo
stuff installed.  Instead one just gets a bunch of FAILs farther down
the line.

It would be nice if the very first few test cases checked that some
basic stuff like   probe kernel.function("sys_open") {}  compiled,
and aborts the whole testsuite if not.

There are also lots of tests that don't need the kernel debuginfo but operate
purely in user space (and generate their own executables/libraries/debuginfo).
So won't it make sense to make the kernel debuginfo needing tests as UNTESTED in
an environment that doesn't have it?

Alternatively make installcheck could run stap-prep as first test.

True, we have many tests that operate without kernel-debuginfo, but many
also do.  So we'd have to annotate all the latter with a [kernel_debuginfo_p]
test, which is a little more work, just to have uprobes-only tests go.
