On s390x KVM and z/VM machines the CPU Measurement Facility is not
available. Events cycles and instructions do not exist. Running above
tests on s390 KVM and z/VM guests always fail with this error:
# ./perf test 84 86
84: perf stat JSON output linter : FAILED!
86: perf stat STD output linter : FAILED!
#
Root cause is command:
# perf stat -j --metric-only -e instructions,cycles -- true
{"metric-value" : "none"}
#
Which fails due to unsupported events and returns "none".
Do not execute this test case on s390 KVM and z/VM machines.
Output after:
# ./perf test 84 86
84: perf stat JSON output linter : Ok
86: perf stat STD output linter : Ok
#
Fixes: 45a86d017a ("perf test: Add --metric-only to perf stat output tests")

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.
