[PATCH 7/7] perf test: test_intel_pt.sh: Add 9 tests

From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Fri Oct 14 2022 - 13:10:48 EST


From: Ammy Yi <ammy.yi@xxxxxxxxx>

Add tests:
Test with MTC and TSC disabled
Test with branches disabled
Test with/without CYC
Test recording with sample mode
Test with kernel trace
Test virtual LBR
Test power events
Test with TNT packets disabled
Test with event_trace

These tests mostly check that perf record works with the corresponding
Intel PT config terms, sometimes also checking that certain packets do or
do not appear in the resulting trace as appropriate.

The "Test virtual LBR" is slightly trickier, using a Python script to
check that branch stacks are actually synthesized.
