Add shell test to check if perf-record hangs when recording an arm_spe
event with forks.
The test FAILS if the Kernel is not patched with Commit 961c391217 ("perf:
Always wake the parent event").
Unpatched Kernel:
$ perf test -v 90
90: Check Arm SPE doesn't hang when there are forks
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 14232
Recording workload with fork
Log lines = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U
Log lines after 1 second = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U
SPE hang test: FAIL
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Check Arm SPE trace data in workload with forks: FAILED!
Patched Kernel:
$ perf test -v 90
