            Bug ID: 1715
           Summary: Enabling tracepoints in dpdk-test causes app to exit
                    immediately without running any tests
           Product: DPDK
           Version: 25.03
          Hardware: POWER
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: other
          Assignee: dev@dpdk.org
          Reporter: drc@linux.ibm.com
  Target Milestone: ---

While attempting to create a custom tracepoint I discovered that enabling any
tracepoints in the dpdk-test app cause if to exit (exit code 255) without
running any tests.  Here's an example on a ppc64le system:


> $ ~/src/dpdk/build/app/test/dpdk-test -l 2-127 --no-pci --no-huge
> --trace=lib.mempool.create
> EAL: Detected CPU lcores: 128
> EAL: Detected NUMA nodes: 2
> EAL: Static memory layout is selected, amount of reserved memory can be
> adjusted with -m or --socket-mem
> EAL: Detected static linkage of DPDK
> EAL: Multi-process socket /run/user/1000/dpdk/rte/mp_socket
> EAL: Selected IOVA mode 'VA'
> EAL: Trace dir: /home/drc/dpdk-traces/rte-2025-05-28-PM-05-10-59


The resulting trace looks like this:
