The 'perf stat' output on aarch64 machines with topdown events wasn't
counted for in the 'perf stat STD output linter' test case. Add the
topdown metric to the skip_metric list as it is done for topdown events
on other systems.
The Topdown events are also disabled on aarch64 KVM guests because the
value of caps/slots is set to 0 due to the part of the system register
being a stub.
This prevents the metric for the topdown events from being computed,
leaving the 'perf stat' topdown metric without any value at all.
Add the "TopdownL1" to the skip_metric list as well to handle this
possibility.
Before aarch64:
100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 403305
Checking STD output: no args Unknown event name in TopdownL1 # 4.3 percent of slots slots_lost_misspeculation_fraction
---- end(-1) ----
100: perf stat STD output linter : FAILED!
Before aarch64 KVM:
100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 404671
Checking STD output: no args Unknown event name in TopdownL1
---- end(-1) ----
100: perf stat STD output linter : FAILED!
After:
100: perf stat STD output linter:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 404777
Checking STD output: no args [Success]
Checking STD output: system wide [Success]
Checking STD output: interval [Success]
Checking STD output: per thread [Success]
Checking STD output: per node [Success]
Checking STD output: system wide no aggregation [Success]
Checking STD output: per core [Success]
Checking STD output: per cache instance [Success]
Checking STD output: per cluster [Success]
Checking STD output: per die [Success]
Checking STD output: per socket [Success]
---- end(0) ----
100: perf stat STD output linter : Ok

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.
