An attempt for systemtap "make installcheck" AArch64

[William Cohen]

Hi Sandeepa,

Over the Long US Thankgiving weekend I tried the latest git checkout of systemtap on aarch64 to see how far the "make installcheck" would get on aarch64.  Yes, it was slow and didn't complete.  The results are posted on dejazilla:

Some of the tests timed out probably because the simulator is so slow:

FAIL: at_var_tracepoint startup (timeout)
KFAIL: backtrace-unwindsyms (timeout) (PRMS: 10739)
FAIL: beginenderror (timeout)
FAIL: bz6503 (timeout)
FAIL: cmd_parse8: unexpected timeout
FAIL: cmd_parse15: timeout
FAIL: debugpath-bad (timeout1)
FAIL: debugpath-good (timeout2)

Tests that depend on back traces or time support are not expected to work right now.
KFAIL: backtrace (0 0) (PRMS: 10739)
FAIL: gtod (0)

The kernel crashed when running kallsyms_expand_symbol.stp or something soon after it.  Unfortunately, I did not take a look at the console before rebooting to see what caused the crash.
