4 daysperf test: Reduce overhead and contention in Python shell testsIan Rogers
When all Python shell tests run concurrently during 'perf test' under heavy load: 1. Unfiltered 'perf list' initializes all hardware PMUs and metrics in each test process; use 'perf list tracepoint' when checking for tracepoint events. 2. Running 'perf record' without '-B -N --no-bpf-event' synthesizes BPF events across the system and caches build-ids into ~/.debug; add '-B -N --no-bpf-event' to all Python shell test recordings. 3. Drop '-a' in test_check_perf_trace_python.sh, test_rw_by_file_python.sh, test_rw_by_pid_python.sh, test_rwtop_python.sh, and test_syscall_counts_by_pid_python.sh where only a single child workload ('dd' or 'sleep') is tested, avoiding system-wide /proc synthesis and ringbuffer contention. 4. Add '-W 1' to 'ping -c 1' in test_net_dropmonitor_python.sh and test_netdev_times_python.sh, and narrow 'compaction:*' to 'compaction:mm_compaction_begin,compaction:mm_compaction_end' in test_compaction_times_python.sh.

7 daysperf script: Support standalone scripts and remove embedded scriptingIan Rogers
Refactor 'perf script' to launch standalone scripts directly via fork() and execvp() and remove the legacy embedded Perl and Python scripting engines: - Remove the embedded Perl scripting engine (util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c), Perl scripts, bin wrappers, and Trace-Util library (scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/), and script_perl.sh test. - Remove libperl feature checks from Makefile.config, Makefile.perf, builtin-check.c, and Documentation/perf-check.txt. - Remove -g / --gen-script option and scripting_ops dispatch table from builtin-script.c and trace-event-scripting.c. - Hide the legacy -s / --script option and update script discovery in find_script() and list_available_scripts() to prioritize the system 'python' directory over bare filenames in the current directory. - Update the Python script shell tests (test_arm_coresight_disasm.sh, test_task_analyzer.sh, and test_*_python.sh) to invoke scripts via 'perf script <script>' rather than running the Python interpreter directly on the script file path.

7 daysperf python: Port rwtop from Perl to perf moduleIan Rogers
Replace the legacy Perl script rwtop.pl with a standalone Python script in tools/perf/python/rwtop.py using the perf Python module. Improvements compared to the legacy Perl script: - Remove the dependency on libperl and Perf::Trace::Util. - Support both offline perf.data files (via perf.session) and live recording (via LiveSession with --live), driving periodic interval summaries from event timestamps rather than wall-clock SIGALRM timers so both live and offline runs produce deterministic output. - Convert unsigned 32-bit and 64-bit error return values (0xfffff000..0xffffffff and >= 0x8000000000000000) to negative errnos so failed read/write syscalls are recorded in the error table rather than inflating bytes_read / bytes_written. - Sanitize non-printable characters in /proc/<pid>/comm to prevent terminal control sequence injection. Add a shell test (test_rwtop_python.sh) to verify the standalone script.
