Discovered some testing issues around perf list, perf script and perf
daemon based on Linux 6.8-rc1. Some of the issues were discovered in
the context of an Alderlake system.
Ian Rogers (5):
perf list: Switch error message to pr_err
perf list: Add output file option
perf test: Workaround debug output in list test
perf test: Fix script test for python being disabled
perf test: Make daemon signal test less racy

Using printf can interrupt perf list output, use pr_err which can
respect debug settings and the debug file.

"grep -cv" can exit with an error code that causes the "set -e" to
abort the script. Switch to using the grep exit code in the if
condition to avoid this.

The daemon signal test sends signals and then expects files to be
written. It was observed on an Intel Alderlake that the signals were
sent too quickly leading to the 3 expected files not appearing. To
avoid this send the next signal only after the expected previous file
has appeared. To avoid an infinite loop the number of retries is
limited.

Add an option to write the perf list output to a specific file. This
can avoid issues with debug output being written into the output
stream.
