Thomas Richter 6fbd67b0f0 perf test: fix failing test cases on linux-next for s390
In linux-next tree the many test cases fail on s390x when running the
perf test suite, sometime the perf tool dumps core.

Output before:
  6.1: Test event parsing                               : FAILED!
 10.3: Parsing of PMU event table metrics               : FAILED!
 10.4: Parsing of PMU event table metrics with fake PMUs: FAILED!
 17: Setup struct perf_event_attr                       : FAILED!
 24: Number of exit events of a simple workload         : FAILED!
 26: Object code reading                                : FAILED!
 28: Use a dummy software event to keep tracking        : FAILED!
 35: Track with sched_switch                            : FAILED!
 42.3: BPF prologue generation                          : FAILED!
 66: Parse and process metrics                          : FAILED!
 68: Event expansion for cgroups                        : FAILED!
 69.2: Perf time to TSC                                 : FAILED!
 74: build id cache operations                          : FAILED!
 86: Zstd perf.data compression/decompression           : FAILED!
 87: perf record tests                                  : FAILED!
106: Test java symbol                                   : FAILED!

The reason for all these failure is a missing PMU. On s390x the PMU is
named cpum_cf which is not detected as core PMU.  A similar patch was
added before, see commit 9bacbced0e ("perf list: Add s390 support
for detailed PMU event description") which got lost during the recent
reworks. Add it again.

Output after:
 10.2: PMU event map aliases                            : FAILED!
 42.3: BPF prologue generation                          : FAILED!

Most test cases now work and there is not core dump anymore.

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.
