Re: [PATCH] perf test: update arm64 perf_event_attr tests for --call-graph

[German Gomez <german.gomez@arm.com>]

Hi,

Friendly ping on this perf-test fix for arm64

I will include some quick test notes:
Before:

$ ./perf test 17 -v
17: Setup struct perf_event_attr
[...]
running './tests/attr/test-record-graph-default'
expected sample_type=295, got 4391
expected sample_regs_user=0, got 1073741824
FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-graph-default' - match failure
test child finished with -1
---- end ----

After:

[...]
running './tests/attr/test-record-graph-default-aarch64'
test limitation 'aarch64'
running './tests/attr/test-record-graph-fp-aarch64'
test limitation 'aarch64'
running './tests/attr/test-record-graph-default'
test limitation '!aarch64'
excluded architecture list ['aarch64']
skipped [aarch64] './tests/attr/test-record-graph-default'
running './tests/attr/test-record-graph-fp'
test limitation '!aarch64'
excluded architecture list ['aarch64']
skipped [aarch64] './tests/attr/test-record-graph-fp'
[...]

Thanks,
German
