      perf test: Allow skipping tests · 2ae82878
      Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo authored
      Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it,
      for instance:
      
      [root@sandy ~]# perf test
         1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                        : Ok
         2: detect open syscall event                              : Ok
         3: detect open syscall event on all cpus                  : Ok
         4: read samples using the mmap interface                  : Ok
         5: parse events tests                                     :  Warning: bad op token {
          Warning: bad op token {
          Warning: bad op token {
          Warning: bad op token {
          Warning: bad op token {
          Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined
        Segmentation fault (core dumped)
      
      So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed,
      allowing us to test all the other entries:
      
        [root@sandy ~]# perf test -s 5
         1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms                        : Ok
         2: detect open syscall event                              : Ok
         3: detect open syscall event on all cpus                  : Ok
         4: read samples using the mmap interface                  : Ok
         5: parse events tests                                     : Skip (user override)
         6: x86 rdpmc test                                         : Ok
         7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields     : Ok
         8: Test perf pmu format parsing                           : Ok
         9: Test dso data interface                                : Ok
        10: roundtrip evsel->name check                            : Ok
        11: Check parsing of sched tracepoints fields              : Ok
        12: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_open event fields: Ok
        13: struct perf_event_attr setup                           : Ok
        14: Test matching and linking mutliple hists               : Ok
        15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems       : Ok
