Howard Chu 63e37590cd perf test trace: Change the regex pattern in the struct test
Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test
where he obtained trace output of:
    sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0

But the regex pattern used for verification is
    "^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..."

This lead to a mismatch.

The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to
call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0.
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
     0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec:
1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0
~~~

While Ian had this trace log:
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
    0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: {
.tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0
~~~

Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec
is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to
'\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.

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.
