[PATCH 2/2] perf test shell trace_exit_race: Use --no-comm to avoid cases where COMM isn't resolved

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@kernel.org>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

The purpose of this test is to test for races in the exit of 'perf
trace' missing the last events, it was failing when the COMM wasn't
resolved either because we missed some PERF_RECORD_COMM or somehow
raced on getting it from procfs.

Add --no-comm to the 'perf trace' command line so that we get a
consistent, pid only output, which allows the test to achieve its goal.

This is the output from
'perf trace --no-comm -e syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group':

     0.000 21953 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21955 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21957 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21959 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21961 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21963 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21965 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21967 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21969 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()
     0.000 21971 syscalls:sys_enter_exit_group()

Now it passes:

  root@number:~# perf test "trace exit race"
  110: perf trace exit race                                            : Ok
  root@number:~#
  root@number:~# perf test -v "trace exit race"
  110: perf trace exit race                                            : Ok
  root@number:~#

If we artificially make it run just 9 times instead of the 10 it runs,
i.e. by manually doing:

	trace_shutdown_race() {
		for _ in $(seq 9); do

that 9 is $iter, 10 in the patch, we get:

  root@number:~# vim ~acme/libexec/perf-core/tests/shell/trace_exit_race.sh
  root@number:~# perf test -v "trace exit race"
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 24629
  Missing output, expected 10 but only got 9
  ---- end(-1) ----
  110: perf trace exit race                                            : FAILED!
  root@number:~#

I.e. 9 'perf trace' calls produced the expected output, the inverse grep
didn't show anything, so the patch provided by Howard for the previous
patch kicks in and shows a more informative message.
