Subject: [PATCH 2/2] perf test: Skip metrics w/o event name in stat STD output linter
This test checks if the output of perf stat to match event names and
metrics. So it wants the output lines to have both event name and
metric. Otherwise it should skip the line.
On AMD machines, the instruction event has two metrics and they are printed
in separate lines. It makes the line without event name like below:
# perf stat -a sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
64,383.34 msec cpu-clock # 64.048 CPUs utilized

4,147,377 branch-misses # 4.24% of all branches (83.46%)

Also modern Intel machines have TopDown metrics which also don't have
event names.

There is a check to skip TopdownL1 and TopdownL2 specifically but it
does not cover every affected lines.
So there is another check to skip the line if it has nothing on the left
side of # sign. Well.. it seems ok but that's not enough too.
When aggregation mode (like --per-socket or --per-thread) is used, it
adds some prefix (e.g. CPU socket, task name and PID) in the output
line. So the test code ignores them to normalize result.
A problem can happen for per-thread mode when task name contains one or
more spaces. It'd only ignore the first part of the task name, and it
thinks there's something more in the line so it would not skip.
# perf stat -a --perf-thread sleep 1
...
perf-21276 # 70.2 % tma_backend_bound
perf-21276 # 3.9 % tma_bad_speculation
perf-21276 # 10.5 % tma_frontend_bound
perf-21276 # 15.3 % tma_retiring
^^^^^^^^^^
(ignored)
my task-21328 # 70.2 % tma_backend_bound
my task-21328 # 3.9 % tma_bad_speculation
my task-21328 # 10.5 % tma_frontend_bound
my task-21328 # 15.3 % tma_retiring

So I think it should look at the metric names instead. Add skip_metric
to hold the list of names to skip. It would contain 'stalled cycles per
insn' and metrics started by 'tma_'.
