perf record test depends on finding symbol test_loop in perf, and fails if
perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip
the test instead.
Example:
Note, building with perl support adds option -Wl,-E which causes the
linker to add all (global) symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So the
test_loop symbol, being global, does not get stripped unless NO_LIBPERL=1
Before:
$ make NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf >/dev/null 2>&1
$ strip tools/perf/perf
$ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf`
$ tools/perf/perf test -v 'record tests'
91: perf record tests :

Register capture test [Success]
Basic --system-wide mode test
System-wide record [Skipped not supported]
Basic target workload test

---- end ----

After:
$ tools/perf/perf test -v 'record tests'
91: perf record tests :
--- start ---

perf does not have symbol 'test_loop'
perf is missing symbols - skipping test

Add a basic test for the branch counter feature.
The test verifies that
- The new filter can be successfully applied on the supported platforms.
- The counter value can be outputted via the perf report -D

Using precise flag with br_inst_retired.near_call causes the test fail
on KVM guests, even when the guests have PMU forwarding enabled and the
event itself is supported.
Remove the precise flag in order to make the test work on KVM guests.

It now has 4 sub tests and at least one of them should run.
But once the TEST_SKIP (= 2) return value is set, it won't be
overwritten unless there's a failure. I think we should return success
when one or more tests are skipped but the remaining subtests are
passed.
So update the test code not to set the err variable when it skips
the test.

The --threads option changed the 'perf record' behavior significantly,
so it'd be nice if we test it separately. Add --threads options with
different argument in each test supported and check the result.
Also update the cleanup routine because threads recording produces data
in a directory.

Add a subtest which profiles the given workload on the command line.
As it's a minimal requirement, the test should run ok so it doesn't skip
the test even if it failed to run the 'perf record' command.

Add system wide recording test with the same pattern. It'd skip the
test when it fails to run 'perf record'.
For system-wide mode, it needs to avoid build-id collection and
synthesis because the test only cares about the test program and kernel
would generate the necessary events as the process starts.

Just running the target program is not enough to test multi-thread
target because it'd be racy perf vs target startup. I used the
initial delay but it cannot guarantee for perf to see the thread.
Instead, use wait_for_threads helper from shell/lib/waiting.sh to make
sure it starts the sibling thread first. Then perf record can use -p
option to profile the target process.

If the system has cc it could build a test program with two threads
and then use it for more detailed testing. Also it accepts an option
to run a thread forever to ensure multi-thread runs.
If cc is not found, it falls back to use the default value 'true'.

I think it's to support non-root user tests. But perf record can handle
the case and fall back to a software event (cpu-clock). Practically this
would affect when it's run on a VM, but it seems no reason to prevent running
the test in the guest.
