mainlining shenanigans

When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board. After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little CPUs. This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant. Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any event data after return from polling. Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a difficult task and a different topic. This patch tries to fix the Perf test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return failure. This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
