Hi,

Thanks for the report! There is no information in the test output that
I can diagnose the issue with, could you add the -v option to perf
test so that I can see what the cause is, rather than just pass/fail.
At the time of filing the update I didn't have access to a Skylake
machine (just SkylakeX) but this test was ran as detailed in the
commit message:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220201015858.1226914-21-irogers@xxxxxxxxxx/
Knowing the test, I suspect there may be a bad event on Skylake, but
can't confirm this because I lack the hardware and/or the test output.
The issue may also be how the test was run, such as not as root, not
in a container. There is a further issue with this test that metrics
(e.g. number of vector ops) that measure things that a simple
benchmark doesn't cause counts for can fail the test, as the test is
checking if the metric is reported - for example, there may be no
vector ops within the simple benchmark.

Thanks,
Ian
