perf test 17 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 z/VM guest,
using linux-next kernel.
Root cause is the fall-back from hardware counter cycles
perf_event_attr:
type 0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
size 136
config 0 (PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES)
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
read_format ID|LOST
which returns -ENOENT on s390 z/VM guest. This causes the code to fall
back to software counter task-clock, as can be seen in the debug output:
------------------------------------------------------------
perf_event_attr:
type 1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
size 136
config 0x1 (PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK) <-here
{ sample_period, sample_freq } 4000
sample_type IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
read_format ID|LOST
This succeeds on s390 z/VM guest.
This successful installation of the counter task-clock is not listed in
the expected results and the test case fails.
