Subject: [PATCH] perf test: Add skip to --per-thread test

As reported in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/[email protected]/
the 'instructions:u' event may not be supported. Add a skip using 'perf
stat'.

Switch some code away from pipe to make the failures clearer.

Ian,

thanks very much for looking into this.
I have tested your patch on several configurations and to be perfect, please
change this line:

then

#

This runs fine, just use record instead of stat, you use perf record later
on anyway.

With this change you have my

Thanks! Done, but I also add a '-o' in v2 so the perf.data file is
cleaned up by the cleanup function.
