There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To
give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace
all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both
different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix
up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked
to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells
installed.
Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it
wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing
bash tests.
Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local'
variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already
widely used in the tests.
It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to
the large number of bash tests that exist.

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 configurations
always work fine, some do not. The ftrace profile test mostly fails,
because the ring buffer was not large enough, and some lines
(especially the interesting ones with nanosleep in it) where dropped.
To achieve success for all tested kernel configurations, enlarge
the buffer to store the traces completely without wrapping.
The default buffer size is too small for all kernel configurations.
Set the buffer size of for the ftrace profile test to 16 MB.
Output after:
# ./perf test ftrace
79: perf ftrace tests : Ok

During the parallel testing, I've noticed some ftrace test failures. It
seems the regex pattern checks 100 msec of nanosleep with the error
range of 10 msec. But sometimes it's affected by other processes and
resulted in more time in the syscall.
The following output shows that it took more than 120 msec and failed.
Let's update the regex pattern so that it can allow more drifts.
