Subject: [PATCH] perf/test: fix perf ftrace test on s390
On s390 the perf test case ftrace sometimes fails as follows:
# ./perf test ftrace
79: perf ftrace tests : FAILED!
#
The failure depends on the kernel .config file. Some configurarions
always work fine, some do not.
To achieve success for all our tested kernel configurations, enlarge
the buffer to store the traces complete without wrapping.
The default buffer size is too small for all kernel configurations.
Set the buffer size of /sys/kernel/tracing/buffer_size_kb to 16 MB
Output after:
# ./perf test ftrace
79: perf ftrace tests : Ok
#
