The test "Check branch stack sampling" depends on finding symbol
brstack_bench (and several others) in perf, and fails if perf has been
stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip the test
instead.
Example:
Before:
$ strip tools/perf/perf
$ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf`
$ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling'
112: Check branch stack sampling :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 123741
Testing user branch stack sampling
+ grep -E -m1 ^brstack_bench\+[^ ]*/brstack_foo\+[^ ]*/IND_CALL/.*$ /tmp/__perf_test.program.5Dz1U/perf.script
+ cleanup
+ rm -rf /tmp/__perf_test.program.5Dz1U
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!
After:
$ tools/perf/perf test -v 'branch stack sampling'
112: Check branch stack sampling :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 125157
perf does not have symbol 'brstack_bench'
perf is missing symbols - skipping test
test child finished with -2
---- end ----
Check branch stack sampling: Skip

Fix all the POSIX sh warnings in perf shell test test_brstack.sh
Warnings fixed :
* In POSIX sh, using lower/mixed case for signal names is undefined.
Correcting that in this script.
* In POSIX sh, 'local' is undefined.
local is supported in many shells, but it's not in POSIX.
In POSIX sh, you can adopt some convention to avoid accidentally
overwriting variables names, e.g. prefixing with the function name,
that is what I have done here.

Show the branch speculation info if provided by the branch recording

With the addition of new branch flags, the "brstacksym" fields in perf
script output now shows speculation information after the branch type.
Change the regular expressions accordingly for the test to pass. Since
branch speculation information may vary across platforms, the test does
not look for specific values.

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build
now contains warnings that look like:
egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E
fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead.
sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf`
Here are the steps to install the latest grep:
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz
tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz
cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make
sudo make install
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

Commit f4a2aade6809c657 ("perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling
test to include sanity check for branch filter") added a skip if certain
branch options aren't available.
But the change added both -b (--branch-any) and --branch-filter options
at the same time, which will always result in a failure on any platform
because the arguments can't be used together.
Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.
Output on x86 before this fix:
$ sudo ./perf test branch
108: Check branch stack sampling : Skip
After:
$ sudo ./perf test branch
108: Check branch stack sampling : Ok

for branch filter
Commit b55878c90ab92a24 ("perf test: Add test for branch stack
sampling") added test for branch stack sampling. There is a sanity check
in the beginning to skip the test if the hardware doesn't support branch
stack sampling.
Snippet
<<>>
skip the test if the hardware doesn't support branch stack sampling
perf record -b -o- -B true > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2
<<>>
But the testcase also uses branch sample types: save_type, any. if any
platform doesn't support the branch filters used in the test, the testcase
will fail. In powerpc, currently mutliple branch filters are not supported
and hence this test fails in powerpc. Fix the sanity check to look at
the support for branch filters used in this test before proceeding with
the test.

same event
On linux-next tree 'perf test 95' ("Check branch stack sampling") was
added recently.
s390 does not support branch sampling at all and the test case fails
despite for checking branch support before hand.
The check for support of branching uses the software event named "dummy",
as seen in the line:
perf record -b -o- -e dummy -B true > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 2
However when the branch recording is actually done, a different event is
used, as seen in the line:
perf record -o $TMPDIR/... --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- ...
The event is omitted and for "perf record" the default event is cycles,
which is not supported by s390 and this fails when executed on s390:
# perf record --branch-filter any,save_type,u -- /tmp/__perf_test.program.iDSmQ/a.out
Error:
cycles: PMU Hardware or event type doesn't support branch stack sampling.
#
Therefore fix this and use the same event cycles for testing support
and actually running the test.
Output before:
# ./perf test -Fv 95
95: Check branch stack sampling :
--- start ---
Testing user branch stack sampling
---- end ----
Check branch stack sampling: FAILED!
#
Output after:
# ./perf test -Fv 95
