If the event 'probe_libc:inet_pton' already exists, this test fails and
deletes the existing event before exiting. This will then pass for any
subsequent executions.
Instead of skipping to deleting the existing event because of failing to
add a new event, a duplicate event is now created and the script
continues with the usual checks. Only the new duplicate event that is
created at the beginning of the test is deleted as a part of the
cleanups in the end. All existing events remain as it is.
This can be observed on a powerpc64 system running Fedora 27 as shown
below.
# perf probe -x /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so -a inet_pton
Added new event:
probe_libc:inet_pton (on inet_pton in /usr/lib64/power8/libc-2.26.so)
