perf test attr: Fix python SafeConfigParser() deprecation warning

2023-05-19T13:36:35Z

Address the warning: ``` tests/attr.py:155: DeprecationWarning: The SafeConfigParser class has been renamed to ConfigParser in Python 3.2. This alias will be removed in Python 3.12. Use ConfigParser directly instead. parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser() ``` by removing the word 'Safe'.

perf test attr: Update no event/metric expectations

perf test: Add stat test for record and script

2023-05-10T17:36:18Z

When using the global aggregation mode, running perf script after perf stat record can result in a segmentation fault as seen with commit 8b76a3188b85 ("perf stat: Remove unused perf_counts.aggr field"). Add a basic test to the existing suite of stat-related tests for checking if that workflow runs without erroring out.

perf test test_intel_pt.sh: Test sample mode with event with PMU name

2023-05-10T17:19:20Z

br_misp_retired.all_branches is supported on processors that support Intel PT, so use it to test sample mode with an event that has been given a PMU name. Please note, the test fails prior to the fix "perf parse-events: Do not break up AUX event group".

perf metric: Change divide by zero and !support events behavior

2023-05-10T15:35:02Z

Division by zero causes expression parsing to fail and no metric to be generated. This can mean for short running benchmarks metrics are not shown. Change the behavior to make the value nan, which gets shown like: ''' $ perf stat -M TopdownL2 true Performance counter stats for 'true': 1,031,492 INST_RETIRED.ANY # nan % tma_fetch_bandwidth # nan % tma_heavy_operations # nan % tma_light_operations 29,304 CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.REF_XCLK # nan % tma_fetch_latency # nan % tma_branch_mispredicts # nan % tma_machine_clears # nan % tma_core_bound # nan % tma_memory_bound 2,658,319 IDQ_UOPS_NOT_DELIVERED.CORE 11,167 EXE_ACTIVITY.BOUND_ON_STORES 262,058 EXE_ACTIVITY.1_PORTS_UTIL BR_MISP_RETIRED.ALL_BRANCHES (0.00%) INT_MISC.RECOVERY_CYCLES_ANY (0.00%) CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.ONE_THREAD_ACTIVE (0.00%) CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD (0.00%) UOPS_RETIRED.RETIRE_SLOTS (0.00%) CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_MEM_ANY (0.00%) UOPS_RETIRED.MACRO_FUSED (0.00%) IDQ_UOPS_NOT_DELIVERED.CYCLES_0_UOPS_DELIV.CORE (0.00%) EXE_ACTIVITY.2_PORTS_UTIL (0.00%) CYCLE_ACTIVITY.STALLS_TOTAL (0.00%) MACHINE_CLEARS.COUNT (0.00%) UOPS_ISSUED.ANY (0.00%) 0.002864879 seconds time elapsed 0.003012000 seconds user 0.000000000 seconds sys ''' When events aren't supported a count of 0 can be confusing and make metrics look meaningful.
