From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> If synthetic events are not configured in the kernel, the unit tests will segfault and crash. Check if synthetic events exist and fail out nicely. The tests will still fail if synthetic events are not configured, but they at least will not crash.
