When someone has a global shellcheckrc file, for example at
~/.config/shellcheckrc, with the directive 'shell=sh', building perf
will fail with many shellcheck errors like:

Passing the '-s bash' option ensures that it runs correctly regardless
of a developers global configuration.
This patch adds '-s bash' and other options to the SHELLCHECK variable

The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter
<tmricht@linux.ibm.com> in commit
658a8805cb ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests")
by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on
hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples
for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head`
switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping
functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program
should be using more.
Add the missing objdump option for the pipe mode version of the
objdump with a command test.

SHA-1 can be written in fewer than 100 lines of code. Just add a basic
SHA-1 implementation so that there's no need to use an external library
or try to pull in the kernel's SHA-1 implementation. The kernel's SHA-1
implementation is not really intended to be pulled into userspace
programs in the way that it was proposed to do so for perf
(https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250521225307.743726-3-yuzhuo@google.com/),
and it's also likely to undergo some refactoring in the future. There's
no need to tie userspace tools to it.
Include a test for sha1() in the util test suite.

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.

This is an end-to-end test for the PERF_RECORD_BPF_METADATA support.
It adds a new "bpf_metadata_perf_version" variable to perf's BPF programs,
so that when they are loaded, there will be at least one BPF program with
some metadata to parse. The test invokes "perf record" in a way that loads
one of those BPF programs, and then sifts through the output to find its
BPF metadata.

Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test
where he obtained trace output of:
sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0
But the regex pattern used for verification is
"^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..."
This lead to a mismatch.
The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to
call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0.
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec:
1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0
~~~
While Ian had this trace log:
~~~
$ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1
0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: {
.tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0
~~~
Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec
is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to
'\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.

The event 'timer:hrtimer_setup' is relatively new, for older kernels,
perf trace enum tests won't run as the event 'timer:hrtimer_setup'
cannot be found.
It was originally called 'timer:hrtimer_init', before being renamed in:
commit 244132c4e5 ("tracing/timers: Rename the hrtimer_init event to hrtimer_setup")
Using timer:hrtimer_start should be enough for current testing, and
hopefully 'start' won't be renamed in the future.

Currently perf test utilizes the set -e option in shell that exit
immediately if a command exits with a non-zero status, this prevents
further error handling and introduces ambiguity. This patch removes set
-e and prints the error message after invoking perf trace during perf

In my case, the command that exits with a non-zero status is perf
trace instead of grep, because it can't find the 'timer:hrtimer_setup'

Since commit 611851010c ("fs: dedup handling of struct filename
init and refcounts bumps"), the kernel has been refactored to use a new
inline function initname(), moving name initialization into it.
As a result, the perf probe test can no longer find the source line that
matches the defined regular expressions. This causes the script to fail
when attempting to add probes.
Add a regular expression to search for the call site of initname(). This
provides a valid source line number for adding the probe. Keeps the
older regular expressions for passing test on older kernels.

If we can skip empty branch stacks from the idle tasks, the failure
should go away. I can see the following output in perf report -D.
$ perf report -D | grep -m5 -A3 'branch stack: nr:0'

On my alderlake I currently see for the "perf metrics value validation" test:
```
Total Test Count: 142
Passed Test Count: 139
[

is [31.137028] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [tma_frontend_bound, tma_frontend_bound]

Metric validation return with erros. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```
I suspect it is due to two metrics for different CPU types being
enabled. Add a -cputype option to avoid this. The test still fails with:
```
Total Test Count: 115
Passed Test Count: 114
[
Wrong Metric Value Error: The collected value of metric ['tma_l2_hit_latency']
is [117.947088] in workload(s): ['perf bench futex hash -r 2 -s']
but expected value range is [0, 100]]
Metric validation return with errors. Please check metrics reported with errors.
```
which is a reproducible genuine error and likely requires a metric fix.

Finding an alias for things like perf_pmu__have_event() would need to
search the aliases list, whilst this happens relatively infrequently it
can be a significant overhead in testing.
Switch to using a hashmap. Move common initialization code to
perf_pmu__init(). Refactor the test 'struct perf_pmu_test_pmu' to not
have perf pmu within it to better support the perf_pmu__init() function.

On continuous testing the perf script output can be empty, or nearly
empty, causing tr/grep to exit and due to "set -e" the test traps and
fails.
Add some empty file handling that sets the test to skip and make grep
and other text rewriting failures non-fatal by adding "|| true".

Since we added --off-cpu-thresh, add tests for when a sample's off-cpu
time is above the threshold, and when it's below the threshold.
Note that the basic test performed in test_offcpu_basic() collects a
direct sample now, since sleep 1 has duration of 1000ms, higher than the
default value of --off-cpu-thresh of 500ms, resulting in a direct
sample.
An example:
$ sudo perf test offcpu
124: perf record offcpu profiling tests : Ok
$
Committer testing:
root@number:~# perf test offcpu
126: perf record offcpu profiling tests : Ok
root@number:~# perf test -v offcpu
126: perf record offcpu profiling tests : Ok
root@number:~# perf test -vv offcpu

Super simple test to check that at least we're not segfaulting when
trying to use 'perf report --hierarchy', more subtests should be added
to make sure the output is the expected one.
This is being merged right before a fix for that that this test detects:
# perf test hierarchy
83: perf report --hierarchy : FAILED!
# perf test -v hierarchy
