[PATCH v1] perf test: Be more tolerant of metricgroup failures

From: Ian Rogers
Date: Wed Apr 03 2024 - 12:48:33 EST


Previously "set -e" meant any non-zero exit code from perf stat would
cause a test failure. As a non-zero exit happens when there aren't
sufficient permissions, check for this case and make the exit code
2/skip for it.
