I'm happy to add Acked-by to the patch. Some other thoughts.
We build libperf tests as standalone executables.:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/lib/perf/Makefile?h=perf-tools-next#n144
this causes issues as we don't run the tests.
We run jevents tests as part of the build, there is an output test log
target that is a dependency on building pmu-events.c:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/acme/linux.git/tree/tools/perf/pmu-events/Build?h=perf-tools-next#n30
This copies a pattern in other kernel build files. With tests written
in C we'd need to make sure the test was host compiled to run it.
Thanks,
Ian
