The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter
<tmricht@linux.ibm.com> in commit
658a8805cb60 ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests")
by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on
hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples
for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head`
switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping
functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program
should be using more.
Add the missing objdump option for the pipe mode version of the
objdump with a command test.

commit 2d584688643fa ("perf test: Add header shell test")
introduced a new test case for perf header. It fails on s390

Also the option --call-graph dwarf is only supported for

Remove this option and the test succeeds.

perf test: Change all remaining #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash
There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To
give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace
all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both
different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix
up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked
to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells
installed.
Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it
wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing
bash tests.
Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local'
variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already
widely used in the tests.
It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to
the large number of bash tests that exist.
Discussed in relation to running shellcheck here:

perf test trace: Change the regex pattern in the struct test
Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test
where he obtained trace output of:
sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0
But the regex pattern used for verification is
"^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..."
This lead to a mismatch.
The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to
call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0.
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec:
1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0
~~~
While Ian had this trace log:
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: {
.tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0
~~~
Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec
is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to
'\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.

perf test trace: Use --sort-events in BTF general tests
Without the '--sort-events' flag, perf trace doesn't receive and process
events based on their arrival time, thus PERF_RECORD_COMM event that
assigns the correct comm to a PID, may be delivered and processed after
regular samples, causing trace outputs not having a 'comm', e.g.
'mv', instead, having the default PID placeholder, e.g. ':14514'.
Hopefully this answers Namhyung's question in [1].
You can simply justify the statement with this diff: [2].
Now, simply run this command multiple times:
$ touch /tmp/file1 && sudo /tmp/perf trace -e renameat* -- mv /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 && rm -f /tmp/file2
And you should see two types of results:
$ touch /tmp/file1 && sudo /tmp/perf trace -e renameat* -- mv /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 && rm -f /tmp/file2
[debug] deliver
[debug] machine__process_comm_event

[debug] deliver
[debug] deliver
[debug] machine__process_comm_event
[OVERRIDE] old :1221398 new mv str mv

Anyway, use --sort-events in BTF general tests to avoid :PID, a comm is
preferred.

The event 'timer:hrtimer_setup' is relatively new, for older kernels,

It was originally called 'timer:hrtimer_init', before being renamed in:
commit 244132c4e577 ("tracing/timers: Rename the hrtimer_init event to hrtimer_setup")
Using timer:hrtimer_start should be enough for current testing, and
hopefully 'start' won't be renamed in the future.
