To prevent anyone from seeing a test failure appear as a regression and
thinking that it was caused by their code change, insert some noise into
the loop which makes it immune to sampling bias issues (errata 1694299).
The "test data symbol" test can fail with any unrelated change that
shifts the loop into an unfortunate position in the Perf binary which is
almost impossible to debug as the root cause of the test failure.
Ultimately it's caused by the referenced errata.

The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as
tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the
top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation
(e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax).
This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.
Fixes: 1962ab6f6e0b39e4 ("perf test workload thloop: Make count increments atomic")

The count variable is incremented by multiple threads, doing so
without an atomic operation causes thread sanitizer warnings. Switch
to using relaxed atomics.

The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data
addresses precisely. This is needed for data symbol test.
$ perf test -w datasym
I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end
up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it
was not symbolized at all. It needs to be fixed separately.
Committer notes:
Add a -U _FORTIFY_SOURCE to the datasym CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.

The brstack is to run different kinds of branches repeatedly. This is
necessary for brstack test case to verify if it has correct branch info.
$ perf test -w brstack
I renamed the internal functions to have brstack_ prefix as it's too
generic name.
Add a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the brstack CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.

The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling
sqrt() with rand(). This is needed for ARM SPE fork test.
$ perf test -w sqrtloop
It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in
seconds (default: 1).
Committer notes:
Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.
And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.
Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
with it.

The thloop is similar to noploop but runs in two threads. This is
needed to verify perf record --per-thread to handle multi-threaded
programs properly.
$ perf test -w thloop
It also takes an optional argument to specify runtime in seconds
(default: 1).

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing.
This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload
as an example.
$ perf test -w noploop
The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default.
It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.
