Leo Yan 5bd1406c51 perf test: Avoid infinite loop for task exit case
[ Upstream commit 791ce9c48c79210d2ffcdbe69421e7783b32921f ]

When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless
loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board.

After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE
CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little
CPUs.  This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when
the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant.
Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any
event data after return from polling.

Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can
be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a
difficult task and a different topic.  This patch tries to fix the Perf
test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times
retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return
failure.  This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.

README

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.
