Naveen N. Rao 7158005b4e perf test: Switch basic bpf filtering test to use syscall tracepoint
BPF filtering tests can sometime fail. Running the test in verbose mode
shows the following:

  $ sudo perf test 42
  42: BPF filter                                                      :
  42.1: Basic BPF filtering                                           : FAILED!
  42.2: BPF pinning                                                   : Skip
  42.3: BPF prologue generation                                       : Skip
  $ perf --version
  perf version 4.18.0-425.3.1.el8.ppc64le
  $ sudo perf test -v 42
  42: BPF filter                                                      :

  BPF filter result incorrect, expected 56, got 56 samples
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  BPF filter subtest 1: FAILED!

The statement above about the result being incorrect looks weird, and it
is due to that particular perf build missing commit 3e11300cdf
("perf test: Fix bpf test sample mismatch reporting"). In reality, due
to commit 4b04e0decd ("perf test: Fix basic bpf filtering test"),
perf expects there to be 56*3 samples.

However, the number of samples we receive is going to be dependent on
where the probes are installed, which is dependent on where
do_epoll_wait gets inlined. On s390x, it looks like probes at all the
inlined locations are hit. But, that is not the case on ppc64le.

Fix this by switching the test to instead use the syscall tracepoint.
This ensures that we will only ever install a single event enabling us
to reliably determine the sample count.

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 Restructured Text 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.
