test: checks for tracepoint tests
For testing the USDT tracepoint API in the functional tests we
require:
- that we are on a Linux system*
- that Bitcoin Core is compiled with tracepoints
- that bcc and the the Python bcc module [0] is installed
- that we run the tests with the required permissions**
otherwise we skip the tests.
*: We currently only support tracepoints on Linux. Tracepoints are
not compiled on other platforms.
**: Currently, we check for root permissions via getuid == 0. It's
unclear if it's even possible to run the tests a non-root user
with e.g. CAP_BPF, CAP_PERFMON, and access to /sys/kernel/debug/
tracing/. Anyone running these tests as root should carefully
review them first and then run them in a disposable VM.
