[PATCH] perf test: Fix test case perf evlist tests for s390x
From: Thomas Richter
Date: Tue Dec 09 2025 - 05:51:12 EST
Perf test case 78: perf evlist tests fails on s390. The failure
is causes by grouping events cycles and instructions because
sampling does only support event cycles.
Change the group to -e '{cycles,cycles}' to fix this.
Output before:
# ./perf test 78
78: perf evlist tests : FAILED!
#
Output after:
# ./perf test 78
78: perf evlist tests : Ok
#
Fixes: db452961de939 ("perf tests evlist: Add basic evlist test")
