I am finding that this test hangs on my arm64 machine:

john@debian:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf$ sudo ./perf test -vvv 73
  73: Sigtrap:
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 45193

And fails on my x86 broadwell machine:

john@localhost:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf> sudo ./perf test -v 73
73: Sigtrap                                                         :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 22255
FAILED sys_perf_event_open(): Argument list too long
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sigtrap: FAILED!
john@localhost:~/kernel-dev2/tools/perf>

Are there more architectures+platforms for which we need to skip this test?

Thanks,
John
