So, this is really nice:

38: Test LLVM searching and compiling                        :ERROR:	unable to find clang.
Hint:	Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF. Check your $PATH
     	and 'clang-path' option in [llvm] section of ~/.perfconfig.
     	LLVM 3.7 or newer is required. Which can be found from http://llvm.org
     	You may want to try git trunk:
     		git clone http://llvm.org/git/llvm.git
     		     and
     		git clone http://llvm.org/git/clang.git

     	Or fetch the latest clang/llvm 3.7 from pre-built llvm packages for
     	debian/ubuntu:
     		http://llvm.org/apt

     	If you are using old version of clang, change 'clang-bpf-cmd-template'
     	option in [llvm] section of ~/.perfconfig to:

     	  "$CLANG_EXEC $CLANG_OPTIONS $KERNEL_INC_OPTIONS \
     	     -working-directory $WORKING_DIR -c $CLANG_SOURCE \
     	     -emit-llvm -o - | /path/to/llc -march=bpf -filetype=obj -o -"
     	(Replace /path/to/llc with path to your llc)

 FAILED!
[acme@zoo linux]$ 

I have the trees cloned and plan to follow these instructions to have this test
passing, to then move on to the next patches, but one request, please change
the above to produce:

38: Test LLVM searching and compiling                        :(no clang) Ok	run 'perf test -v LLVM' for instructions on having a clang environment

'perf test' will accept either '38' or any substring in the test description and
will run just the ones specified, and with -v we will spare people not interested
in this eBPF support of these nice verbose instructions :-)

If we find clang but then fail to build, ok, then this is a hard error, I think,
and 'perf test' should FAIL that test.

Regards,

- Arnaldo
