Command
# perf test -Fv 6
fails with error
running test 100 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm' failed to parse
event 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm', err -1, str 'unknown tracepoint'
event syntax error: 'kvm-s390:kvm_s390_create_vm'
\___ unknown tracepoint
when the kvm module is not loaded or not built in.
Fix this by adding a valid function which tests if the module
is loaded. Loaded modules (or builtin KVM support) have a
directory named
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm-s390
for this tracepoint.
Check for existence of this directory.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
