[v2] selftests/ftrace: Use /bin/echo instead of built-in echo

Commit Message

Masami Hiramatsu (Google) May 8, 2020, 2:23 p.m. UTC

Since the built-in echo has different behavior in POSIX shell
(dash) and bash, we forcibly use /bin/echo -E (not interpret
backslash escapes) by default.

This also fixes some test cases which expects built-in
echo command since the built-in echo command will share
the same pid with the shell.

trigger-trace-marker-hist.tc and trigger-trace-marker-synthetic.tc
write trace_marker several times to make a histogram with the pid
as the key. If we use /bin/echo command, the pid-key is different
each time and failed to make a histogram. This changes those test
to use "ip" (called address) as a key which should be always same
if trace_marker is used.

For trigger-trace-marker-synthetic-kernel.tc, this uses built-in
echo as a special case, because the test case is based on the
wakeup event and the trace_marker event and uses the pid as
common-key for those events. In this case, we must use built-in
echo to make a short "sleep, wakeup and write" program.
