Subtest for system-wide record with '--threads=cpu' option fails due
to a limit of open file descriptors on systems with 128 or more CPUs
as the default limit is set to 1024.
The number of open file descriptors should be slightly above
nmb_events*nmb_cpus + nmb_cpus(for perf.data.n) + 4*nmb_cpus(for pipes),
which equals 8*nmb_cpus. Therefore, temporarily raise the limit to
16*nmb_cpus for the test.
Committer notes:
Instead of disabling ShellCheck warnings all the uses of 'uname -n',
i.e. those:
In tests/shell/record.sh line 35:
default_fd_limit=$(ulimit -Sn)
^-^ SC3045 (warning): In POSIX sh, ulimit -S is undefined.
We can just switch from using '/bin/sh' to '/bin/bash' for this test, as
bash _has_ 'ulimit -n', so ShellCheck will not emit that warning.
There are dozens of 'perf test' shell tests that do just that,
'/bin/bash' is a reasonable expectation for those tests.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
