[PATCH 04/12] perf test: Replace record test workload with thloop

From: Namhyung Kim
Date: Wed Nov 16 2022 - 18:39:22 EST


So that it can get rid of requirements for a compiler.

$ sudo ./perf test -v 92
92: perf record tests :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 740204
Basic --per-thread mode test
Basic --per-thread mode test [Success]
Register capture test
Register capture test [Success]
Basic --system-wide mode test
Basic --system-wide mode test [Success]
Basic target workload test
Basic target workload test [Success]
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
perf record tests: Ok
