--- Patch [4]: [PATCH v4 4/4] perf tools: Add test for weight annotation ---

perf tools: Add test for weight annotation

This commit adds a shell script test case to verify if the --stdio weight
annotation functions correctly.

[Severity: Medium]
Because the script runs under set -e, will a failure in perf annotate or
grep cause the script to exit immediately and trigger the cleanup trap?

If the script aborts here, it appears it will delete the log files without
printing any error output, which might mask the failure reason and make
debugging difficult.
