Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Test case 27 fails on s390 and non-x86 platforms

Executing perf test 27 fails on s390:
 [root@...lp46 perf]# ./perf test -Fv 27
 27: Sample parsing
 --- start ---
 ---- end ----
 Sample parsing: FAILED!
 [root@...lp46 perf]#

The root cause is
commit c7444297fd3769 ("perf test: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT")
This commit introduced a test case for PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT
but does not adjust non-x86 weak linkage functions.

The error is in test__sample_parsing() --> do_test()
Function do_test() defines two structures of type struct perf_sample named
sample and sample_out. The first sets member sample.ins_lat = 117

Structure sample_out is constructed dynamically using functions
perf_event__synthesize_sample() and evsel__parse_sample().
Both functions have an x86 specific function version which sets member
ins_lat. The weak common functions do not set member ins_lat.

Later in function samples_same() both data in variable sample and sample_out
are compared. The comparison fails because sample.ins_lat is 117
and samples_out.ins_lat is 0, the weak functions never set member ins_lat.

Output after:
 [root@...lp46 perf]# ./perf test -Fv 27
 27: Sample parsing
 --- start ---
 ---- end ----
 Sample parsing: Ok
[root@...lp46 perf]#

Fixes:
commit c7444297fd3769 ("perf test: Support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT")
