perf test -F 83 ("perf stat CSV output linter") fails on s390.
Reason is the wrong number of fields for certain CPU core/die/socket
related output.
On x84_64 the output of command:
# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge true
CPU0,1.50,msec,cpu-clock,1502781,100.00,1.052,CPUs utilized
CPU1,1.48,msec,cpu-clock,1476113,100.00,1.034,CPUs utilized
...
results in 8 fields with 7 comma separators.
On s390 the output of command:
# ./perf stat -x, -A -a --no-merge -- true
0.95,msec,cpu-clock,949800,100.00,1.060,CPUs utilized
...
results in 7 fields with 6 comma separators. Therefore this tests
fails on s390. Similar issues exist for per-die and per-socket output
which is not supported on s390.
I have rewritten the python program to count commas in each output line
into a bash function to achieve the same result. I hope this makes it a
bit easier.

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.
