perf tests: Ignore shellcheck warning in lock_contention

Running shellcheck on lock_contention.sh generates below
warning

In tests/shell/lock_contention.sh line 36:
if [ `nproc` -lt 4 ]; then
^-----^ SC2046: Quote this to prevent word splitting.

Here since nproc will generate a single word output
and there is no possibility of word splitting, this
warning can be ignored. Use exception for this with
"disable" option in shellcheck. This warning is observed
after commit:
"commit 29441ab3a30a ("perf test lock_contention.sh: Skip test
if not enough CPUs")"

perf test lock_contention.sh: Skip test if not enough CPUs

Machines with less then 4 CPUs weren't consistently triggering lock
events required for the test.

Skip the test on those machines. The limit of 4 CPUs is set as it
generates around 100 lock events for a test.

perf tests lock_contention: Fix shellcheck issue about quoting to avoid word splitting

Running shellcheck on lock_contention.sh generates below warning:

In tests/shell/lock_contention.sh line 24:
if [ `id -u` != 0 ]; then
^-----^ SC2046 (warning): Quote this to prevent word splitting.

In tests/shell/lock_contention.sh line 160:
local type=$(head -1 "${result}" | awk '{ print $8 }' | sed -e 's/:.*//')
^--------^ SC3043 (warning): In POSIX sh, 'local' is undefined.
^--^ SC2155 (warning): Declare and assign separately to avoid masking return values.
^-- SC2046 (warning): Quote this to prevent word splitting.

Fixed above warnings by:

- Adding quotes to avoid word splitting.
- Fixing shellcheck warnings for local usage, by prefixing
function name to the variable.

perf test: Test perf lock contention CSV output

To verify CSV output, just check the number of separators (",") using
the tr and wc commands like this.

grep -v "^#" ${result} | tr -d -c | wc -c

Now it expects 6 columns (and 5 separators) in the output, but it may
be changed later so count the field in the header first and compare it
to the actual output lines.

$ cat ${result}
# output: contended, total wait, max wait, avg wait, type, caller
1, 28787, 28787, 28787, spinlock, raw_spin_rq_lock_nested+0x1b

The test looks like below now:

perf tests lock_contention: Fix shellscript errors

Use quotes around variables to prevent POSIX word expansion, use
uppercase for signals(INT, TERM, EXIT) to avoid mixed/lower case naming
of signals and replace "==" with "=" as "==" is not supported by POSIX
shell.

# 30b331d2 03-Nov-2022 Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>

perf lock: Allow concurrent record and report

To support live monitoring of kernel lock contention without BPF,
it should support something like below:

# perf lock record -a -o- sleep 1 | perf lock contention -i-
contended total wait max wait avg wait type caller

2 10.27 us 6.17 us 5.13 us spinlock load_balance+0xc03
1 5.29 us 5.29 us 5.29 us rwlock:W ep_scan_ready_list+0x54
1 4.12 us 4.12 us 4.12 us spinlock smpboot_thread_fn+0x116
1 3.28 us 3.28 us 3.28 us mutex pipe_read+0x50

To do that, it needs to handle HEAD_ATTR, HEADER_EVENT_UPDATE and
HEADER_TRACING_DATA which are generated only for the pipe mode.
And setting event handler also should be delayed until it gets the
event information.

perf test: Add kernel lock contention test

Add a new shell test to check if both normal 'perf lock record' +
contention and BPF (with -b) option are working.

Use 'perf bench sched messaging' as a workload since it creates some
contention for sending and receiving messages.
