Right, we do try to test some of the events via 'perf test', for
instance:

[root@...et perf]# perf test openat
 2: Detect openat syscall event                           : Ok
 3: Detect openat syscall event on all cpus               : Ok
15: syscalls:sys_enter_openat event fields                : Ok
[root@...et perf]#

Things like setting up evsels for some events, then forking + calling a
syscall, then checking if that event appeared on the ring buffer, check
if the payload for the event, as read using the tracefs format fields
matches the parameters we passed in the syscall, etc.

See tools/perf/tests/openat-syscall-tp-fields.c for that
"syscalls:sys_enter_openat event fields" specific source code.

So doing some of these synthetic tests when updating the event files may
help us in the direction of having tests that run on those specific
hardwares (ThunderX2 in this case) everytime we run 'perf test', so that
we can detect failures sooner.

I.e. first write a simple test for one of those events, use it as
documentation, at some point, as time permits, turn those into a 'perf
test' entry.

Thanks,
