[PATCH 1/8] perf test: Do not use instructions:u explicitly

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Thu Oct 20 2022 - 13:26:56 EST


I think it's to support non-root user tests. But perf record can handle
the case and fall back to a software event (cpu-clock). Practically this
would affect when it's run on a VM, but it seems no reason to prevent running
the test in the guest.
