[PATCH 2/2] perf tests sigtrap: Skip if running on a kernel with sleepable spinlocks

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Wed Nov 29 2023 - 10:47:57 EST


From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@xxxxxxxxxx>

There are issues as reported that need some more investigation on the
RT kernel front, till that is addressed, skip this test.

This test is already skipped for multiple hardware architectures where
the tested kernel feature is not supported.
