Sometimes error messages in breaks the pretty output of 'perf test'.
For example:
# mv /lib/modules/4.3.0-rc4+/build/vmlinux{,.bak}
# perf test LLVM BPF
35: Test LLVM searching and compiling :
35.1: Basic BPF llvm compiling test : Ok
35.2: Test kbuild searching : Ok
35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation test : Ok
37: Test BPF filter :
37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok
37.2: Test BPF prologue generation :Failed to find the path for kernel: No such file or directory FAILED!
This patch mute test cases thoroughly by redirect their stdout and
stderr to /dev/null when verbose == 0. After applying this patch:
# ./perf test LLVM BPF
