perf test: test case 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/vm
perf test 17 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 z/VM guest, using linux-next kernel. Root cause is the fall-back from hardware counter cycles perf_event_attr: type 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE) size 136 config 0 (PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES) { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC read_format ID|LOST which returns -ENOENT on s390 z/VM guest. This causes the code to fall back to software counter task-clock, as can be seen in the debug output: ------------------------------------------------------------ perf_event_attr: type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE) size 136 config 0x1 (PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK) <-here { sample_period, sample_freq } 4000 sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC read_format ID|LOST This succeeds on s390 z/VM guest. This successful installation of the counter task-clock is not listed in the expected results and the test case fails. This is caused by commit eb2eac0c7b618033 ("perf evsel: Fallback to "task-clock" when not system wide") which introduced fall back from event 'cycles' to event 'task-clock'. To fix this on s390 allow event number 0 (cycles) and event number 1 (task-clock) as expected result.
