Subject: [PATCH v5] perf test: Introduce script for Arm CoreSight testing

We need a simple method to test Perf with Arm CoreSight drivers, this
could be used for smoke testing when new patch is coming for perf or
CoreSight drivers, and we also can use the test to confirm if the
CoreSight has been enabled successfully on new platforms.

This patch introduces the shell script test_arm_coresight.sh which is
under the 'pert test' framework.  This script provides three testing
scenarios:

Test scenario 1: traverse all possible paths between source and sink

For traversing possible paths, simply to say, the testing rationale
is source oriented testing, it traverses every source (now only refers
to ETM device) and test its all possible sinks.  To search the complete
paths from one specific source to its sinks, this patch relies on the
sysfs '/sys/bus/coresight/devices/devX/out:Y' for depth-first search
(DFS) for iteration connected device nodes, if the output device is
detected as a sink device (the script will exclude TPIU device which can
not be supported for perf PMU), then it will test trace data recording
and decoding for it.

The script runs three output testings for every trace data:
- Test branch samples dumping with 'perf script' command;
- Test branch samples reporting with 'perf report' command;
- Use option '--itrace=i1000i' to insert synthesized instructions events
  and the script will check if perf can output the percentage value
  successfully based on the instruction samples.

Test scenario 2: system-wide test

For system-wide testing, it passes option '-a' to perf tool to enable
tracing on all CPUs, so it's hard to say which program will be traced.
But perf tool itself contributes much overload in this case, so it will
parse trace data and check if process 'perf' can be detected or not.

Test scenario 3: snapshot mode test.

For snapshot mode testing, it uses 'dd' command to launch a long running
program, so this can give chance to send signal -USR2; it will check the
captured trace data contains 'dd' related thread info or not.

If any test fails, it will report failure and directly exit with error.
This test will be only applied on a platform with PMU event 'cs_etm//',
otherwise will skip the testing.

Below is detailed usage for it:

  # cd $linux/tools/perf  -> This is important so can use shell script
  # perf test list
    [...]
    65: probe libc's inet_pton & backtrace it with ping
    66: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and branch samples
    67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname
    68: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression
    69: Add vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames
    70: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames

  # perf test 66
    66: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and branch samples: Ok

Changes in v5:
- Fixed testing name to system-wide testing (Suzuki);
- Used 'enable_sink' existence to check if the device is a sink (Suzuki);
- Excluded TPIU from sink devices;
- Fixed Misleading output (Suzuki);
- Removed '--per-thread' option from snapshot testing (Suzuki).
