If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Ian Rogers [ Upstream commit 8953bfd8820b6525032023fda3a420098c1823ae ] The metrics value validation test requires system-wide recording (`-a`), which can fail on systems without root permissions or where paranoid levels restrict tracing. Add a check to skip the test if `-a` is not supported. Also fix false negatives during validation by updating parse error string patterns and resolving issues in metric list generation.
