[PATCH 0/6 v1] perf test attr: Fix the re-enabled test

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hello all,

This series fixes the "Perf attribute expectations test" (perf test 82,
formerly "Setup struct perf_event_attr").

Patches 1-2 are Michael Petlan's prerequisite fixes that make the shell
wrapper propagate attr.py's return value and correct the
perf_event_attr size expectation after struct config4 was added.  They
are included at the start of the series so that it applies cleanly on
the current perf-tools-next (and for the review bots to verify the new
patches); the new fixes are patches 3-6.

With the test reporting failures again, several stale expectations
surfaced and are addressed here:

- test-record-graph-dwarf still expected PERF_SAMPLE_ADDR and
  PERF_SAMPLE_DATA_SRC for --call-graph dwarf.  Those were dropped by
  bdd051e249141c79 ("perf record: Split --data-mmap option"), which
  decoupled data MMAP recording from the sample address bits.

- The record and stat group tests expected cache-misses and
  instructions to be the legacy PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE events, but since
  b1c5efbfd92eb84d ("perf parse-events: Remove hard coded legacy
  hardware and cache parsing") they resolve to the core PMU sysfs/JSON
  events, so request the legacy encodings explicitly with the
  legacy-hardware-config term.

- The perf stat default metrics open their events in groups and the
  raw encodings of instructions, branch-misses, cpu-cycles and
  stalled-cycles-frontend/backend differ between Intel and AMD, so
  base-stat now accepts the standalone and group variants and
  test-stat-default/detailed-{1,2,3} gained the per-vendor raw
  encodings.

- attr.py no longer requires a recorded event to be in a group when
  the matching expectation does not declare one, allowing the stat
  tests to verify event attributes without encoding the metric
  grouping.  Expectations that declare a group are still verified in
  both directions.

The test passes with 'perf test -vv attribute' on x86_64.  The AMD
encodings come from the amd_pmu_event_map tables in
arch/x86/events/amd/core.c.
