Subject: [PATCH v2 0/8] Make more tests skip rather than fail

A long standing niggle has been that tests that cannot pass are marked
as failing rather than skip.  John Garry mentioned a similar concern
in [1]. These changes fix this behavior so that as root, or not, at
least the first 10 tests are passing or skipping.

v2. Updates reviewed-by and acked-by. It addresses review comments
    from Namhyung Kim <namhyung@...nel.org>. An extra fix is now
    included for PERF_RECORD_* which can fail as a user because of
    perf_event_paranoid.

Ian Rogers (8):
  perf test: Skip reason for suites with 1 test
  perf test: Use skip in vmlinux kallsyms
  perf test: Use skip in openat syscall
  perf test: Basic mmap use skip
  perf test: Parse events tidy terms_test
  perf test: Parse events tidy evlist_test
  perf test: Parse events break apart tests
  perf test: Use skip in PERF_RECORD_*
