[PATCH 1/1] perf tests data_validation: Fixup test header

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

Date: Mon May 11 2026 - 08:11:52 EST


We made a mistake by having the SPDX comment in the second line, where
'perf test' shell support expects the test title, fix it.

Now we can specify a substring and have that test selected:

root@number:~# perf test truncat
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).: Ok
root@number:~# perf test -vv truncat
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 62890
---- end(0) ----
84: Test that perf report handles truncated perf.data gracefully (no crash, no segfault — clean error exit).: Ok
root@number:~#
