Thomas RichterandSasha Levin 4062fb5268 perf test stat tests: Fix for virtualized machines
[ Upstream commit e272628902 ]

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
  #

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 reStructuredText 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.
