[PATCH 7/8] perf tests: Make data symbol test wait for perf to start
From: Adrian Hunter
Date: Thu Nov 23 2023 - 03:00:05 EST
The perf data symbol test waits 1 second for perf to run and collect data,
which may be too little if perf takes a long time to start up, which has
been noticed on systems with many CPUs. Use existing wait_for_perf_to_start
helper to wait for perf to start.
