perf test stat tests: Fix for virtualized machines
[ Upstream commit e272628902c1c96731e2d9f62a7fc77767686eb0 ]
On s390 'perf test's 'perf stat tests', subtest test_hybrid fails for
z/VM systems. The root cause is this statement:
$(perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 |\
grep -E "/cpu-cycles/[uH]*| cpu-cycles[:uH]* -c)
The 'perf stat' output on a s390 z/VM system is
# perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
56 context-switches # 46.3 cs/sec cs_per_second
1,210.41 msec cpu-clock # 11.9 CPUs CPUs_utilized
12 cpu-migrations # 9.9 migrations/sec ...
81 page-faults # 66.9 faults/sec ...
0.100891009 seconds time elapsed
The grep command does not match any single line and exits with error
code 1.
As the bash script is executed with 'set -e', it aborts with the first
error code being non-zero.
Fix this and use 'wc -l' to count matching lines instead of 'grep ... -c'.
Output before:
# perf test 102
102: perf stat tests : FAILED!
#
Output after:
# perf test 102
102: perf stat tests : Ok
#
Fixes: bb6e7cb11d97ce19 ("perf tools: Add fallback for exclude_guest")
