By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0. This patch does: - return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported. - Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current architecture by moving exist code to a separate function. It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return TEST_SKIP by doing this. - Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests. Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it is necessary to extend current test suite definition.

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.
