perf test arm-spe: Check if perf-record hangs when recording workload with forks
Add shell test to check if perf-record hangs when recording an arm_spe event with forks. The test FAILS if the Kernel is not patched with Commit 961c3912 ("perf: Always wake the parent event"). Unpatched Kernel: $ perf test -v 90 90: Check Arm SPE doesn't hang when there are forks --- start --- test child forked, pid 14232 Recording workload with fork Log lines = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U Log lines after 1 second = 90 /tmp/__perf_test.stderr.0Nu0U SPE hang test: FAIL test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Check Arm SPE trace data in workload with forks: FAILED!
