Bug Description

[Impact]
This kprobe_args_user.tc test will be marked as "unresolved" and once causing failures in ftrace of our ubuntu_kernel_selftests (lp:1869227)

Our workaround is to blacklist this test in autotest-client-tests [1]

Note that with patch b730d668138cb3 ("ftrace/selftest: make unresolved cases cause failure if --fail-unresolved set") available, an unresolved case will not be treated as a failure unless we requested so.

[1] https://kernel.ubuntu.com/git/ubuntu/autotest-client-tests.git/commit/ubuntu_kernel_selftests/ubuntu_kernel_selftests.py?id=a381d47a9004388730e825cd20566ef102a29399

[Fix]
* 1e11b7dbef17bb selftests/ftrace: Return unsupported for the unconfigured features

With this patch it will be marked as unsupported, easier to understand than unresolved.

This patch can be found in Groovy and newer releases, and this test does not exist in Bionic and older releases.

[Test]
Tested on s390x / PowerPC, this will be marked as unsupported:
$ sudo ./ftracetest test.d/kprobe/kprobe_args_user.tc
=== Ftrace unit tests ===
[1] Kprobe event user-memory access [UNSUPPORTED]

# of passed: 0
# of failed: 0
# of unresolved: 0
# of untested: 0
# of unsupported: 1
# of xfailed: 0
# of undefined(test bug): 0
$ echo $?
0

[Where problems could occur]
Changes limited to testing tool, should not impact real kernel functionality. With this patch and local workaround in autotest-client-tests removed we might see failures in s390x / PowerPC in the future.

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
