Yes, I need Tom's review for this change. As far as I can test, this
fixes the test failure. If this isn't acceptable, we can use "alias echo=echo"
for this test case.

I still don't see how changing "keys=common_pid" to "keys=ip" has anything
to do with the echo patch. If that is a problem, it should be a different
patch with explanation to why "keys=common_pid" is broken.

This test case uses a trace_marker event to make a histogram with
the common_pid key, and it expects the "echo" command is built-in command
so that the pid is same while writing several events to trace_marker.
I changed it to "ip" which is always same if trace_marker interface is
used.

Can you explicitly state that in your change log? It wasn't obvious from
what you meant with:

"This also fixes some test cases which expects built-in echo command."


With that change,
