Thomas Richter c530d86ded perf test attr: Fix python error on empty result 
[ Upstream commit 3440fe2790 ]

Commit d78ada4a76 ("perf tests attr: Do not store failed events") does
not create an event file in the /tmp directory when the
perf_open_event() system call failed.

This can lead to a situation where not /tmp/event-xx-yy-zz result file
exists at all (for example on a s390x virtual machine environment) where
no CPUMF hardware is available.

The following command then fails with a python call back chain instead
of printing failure:

  [root@s8360046 perf]# /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ \
      -p ./perf -v -ttest-stat-basic
  running './tests/attr//test-stat-basic'
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 379, in <module>
      main()
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 370, in main
      run_tests(options)
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 311, in run_tests
      Test(f, options).run()
    File "./tests/attr.py", line 300, in run

      exp_event.diff(res_event)
  UnboundLocalError: local variable 'res_event' referenced before assignment
  [root@s8360046 perf]#

This patch catches this pitfall and prints an error message instead:

  [root@s8360047 perf]# /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ \
       -p ./perf  -vvv -ttest-stat-basic

README 

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
