[PATCH v2 0/8] Make more tests skip rather than fail

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed May 18 2022 - 00:20:40 EST


A long standing niggle has been that tests that cannot pass are marked
as failing rather than skip. John Garry mentioned a similar concern
in [1]. These changes fix this behavior so that as root, or not, at
least the first 10 tests are passing or skipping.

v2. Updates reviewed-by and acked-by. It addresses review comments
from Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>. An extra fix is now
included for PERF_RECORD_* which can fail as a user because of
perf_event_paranoid.

Ian Rogers (8):
perf test: Skip reason for suites with 1 test
perf test: Use skip in vmlinux kallsyms
perf test: Use skip in openat syscall
perf test: Basic mmap use skip
perf test: Parse events tidy terms_test
perf test: Parse events tidy evlist_test
perf test: Parse events break apart tests
perf test: Use skip in PERF_RECORD_*
