Add new test case kprobe_opt_types.tc which enables and checks
if each probe has been optimized in order to test potential issues with
optimized probes.
The '|| continue' is added with the echo statement to ignore errors that
are caused by trying to add kprobes to non probeable lines and continue
with the test.

I think we can make it simply;

PROBE=$(grep $FUNCTION_FORK /sys/kernel/debug/kprobes/list)

+        echo 0 > events/kprobes/enable
+        echo > kprobe_events
+        if [ $PROBE_TYPE = "OPTIMIZED" ]; then

and

if echo $PROBE | grep -q OPTIMIZED; then

+                echo "$DEFAULT" >  /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization
+                exit_pass
+        fi
+done
+echo "$DEFAULT" >  /proc/sys/debug/kprobes-optimization
+echo "Done"

Hmm, this test does NOT return any error. It always returns success.

Good catch!

I understand that optimization may not be possible within 256 bytes
from the beginning of the function.

Is that true in practice? Looking at x86 and ppc64le, it looks like we will almost always be able to optimize at least one of the instructions within the first 256 bytes of kernel_clone(). That's one of the primary purposes of this test.

Are there valid reasons why we may not be able to optimize instructions?

In that case, you can return
"unresolved", and not echoing "Done" but the reason why it is
unresolved.
