Sounds good to me. Fwiw, the instance where I lifted this code was:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/perf/perf-tools-next.git/tree/tools/perf/tests/shell/stat+json_output.sh?h=perf-tools-next#n12

With this change:
```
diff --git a/tools/perf/tests/Makefile.tests b/tools/perf/tests/Makefile.tests
index fdaca5f7a946..06de6d3f4842 100644

-PROGS := $(shell find tests/shell -perm -o=x -type f -name '*.sh')
+PROGS := $(shell find tests/shell -executable -type f -name '*.sh')
FILE_NAME := $(notdir $(PROGS))
FILE_NAME := $(FILE_NAME:%=.%)
LOGS := $(join $(dir $(PROGS)),$(FILE_NAME))
```

shellcheck now runs for me. I'll try adding the posix check into the
patch series, as well as fixing other instances I can see.

Thanks,
Ian
