Thomas Richter b6d8b858db perf test: test case 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/vm
perf test 17 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 z/VM guest,
using linux-next kernel.

Root cause is the fall-back from hardware counter cycles

   perf_event_attr:
    type                             0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
    size                             136
    config                           0 (PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES)
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
    read_format                      ID|LOST

which returns -ENOENT on s390 z/VM guest. This causes the code to fall
back to software counter task-clock, as can be seen in the debug output:

  ------------------------------------------------------------
   perf_event_attr:
    type                             1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
    size                             136
    config                           0x1 (PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK) <-here
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
    read_format                      ID|LOST

This succeeds on s390 z/VM guest.

This successful installation of the counter task-clock is not listed in
the expected results and the test case fails.

This is caused by commit eb2eac0c7b ("perf evsel: Fallback to
"task-clock" when not system wide") which introduced fall back from
event 'cycles' to event 'task-clock'.

To fix this on s390 allow event number 0 (cycles) and event number 1
(task-clock) as expected result.

Output before:

  # ./perf test -Fv 17
  17: Setup struct perf_event_attr                                    :

  expected config=0, got 1
