There's a 'perf record sample filtering (by BPF) tests'.

  $ ./perf test -vv filtering
   95: perf record sample filtering (by BPF) tests:
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 1042594
  Checking BPF-filter privilege
  try 'sudo perf record --setup-filter pin' first.
  bpf-filter test [Skipped permission]
  ---- end(-2) ----

Do you say it's failing after the first patch?  It looks like the atom
CPU doesn't support PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT and should fail already.

The above test doesn't check the weight field FYI.

I don't know.. is it changed with this patch?
