[PATCH v2] perf tests task-analyzer: Write test files to tmpdir
Posted by Ian Rogers 6 days, 9 hours ago 
Writing to the test output files in the current working directory can
fail in various contexts such as continual test. Other tests write to
a mktemp-ed file, make the "perf script task-analyszer tests" follow
this convention too. Currently this isn't possible for the perf.data
file due to a lack of perf script support, add a variable for when
this support is available.

I'm curious why this patch is in the idle symbol thread.

I'll separate it, I was gathering fixes. Same branch has the BPF
counters test fix in it:
