[PATCH] perf build: Raise minimum shellcheck version to 0.7.2
From: Nicolas Schier
Date: Tue Jan 06 2026 - 08:19:37 EST
Raise the minimum shellcheck version for perf builds to 0.7.2, so that
systems with shellcheck versions below 0.7.2 will automatically skip the
shell script checking, even if NO_SHELLCHECK is unset.
Since commit 241f21be7d0f ("perf test perftool_testsuite: Use absolute
paths"), shellcheck versions before 0.7.2 break the perf build with
several SC1090 [2] warnings due to its too strict dynamic source
handling [1].
Fixes: 241f21be7d0f ("perf test perftool_testsuite: Use absolute paths")

This is an alternative to introducing several shellcheck directives to
let old shellcheck versions handle the dynamic source statements
correctly:
