[PATCH] perf test: Fix perf test case 84 on s390

From: Thomas Richter
Date: Tue Oct 15 2024 - 03:48:36 EST


Perf test case 84 'perf pipe recording and injection test'
sometime fails on s390, especially on z/VM virtual machines.

This is caused by a very short run time of workload

# perf test -w noploop

which runs for 1 second. Occasionally this is not long
enough and the perf report has no samples for symbol noploop.

Fix this and enlarge the runtime for the perf work load
to 3 seconds. This ensures the symbol noploop is always
present.

Output before:
Inject -b build-ids test
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.195 MB - ]
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]

[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.014 MB - ]
Inject --buildid-all build-ids test [Failed - cannot find
noploop function in pipe #2]

Output after:
Successful execution for over 10 times in a loop.
