[PATCH 1/2] tools/perf/tests: Fix string substitutions in build id test

[Athira Rajeev]

The perf test named “build id cache operations” skips with below
error on some distros:

<<>>
 78: build id cache operations                                       :
test child forked, pid 111101

./tests/shell/buildid.sh: 69: ./tests/shell/buildid.sh: Bad substitution
test child finished with -2
build id cache operations: Skip
<<>>

The test script "tests/shell/buildid.sh" uses some of the
string substitution ways which are supported in bash, but not in
"sh" or other shells. Above error on line number 69 that reports
"Bad substitution" is:

<<>>
link=${build_id_dir}/.build-id/${id:0:2}/${id:2}
<<>>

Here the way of getting first two characters from id ie,
${id:0:2} and similarly expressions like ${id:2} is not
recognised in "sh". So the line errors and instead of
hitting failure, the test gets skipped as shown in logs.
So the syntax issue causes test not to be executed in
such cases. Similarly usage : "${@: -1}" [ to pick last
argument passed to a function] in “test_record” doesn’t
work in all distros.

Fix this by using alternative way with "cut" command
to pick "n" characters from the string. Also fix the usage
of “${@: -1}” to work in all cases.

Another usage in “test_record” is:
<<>>
${perf} record --buildid-all -o ${data} $@ &> ${log}
<<>>

This causes the perf record to start in background and
Results in the data file not being created by the time
"check" function is invoked. Below log shows perf record
result getting displayed after the call to "check" function.

<<>>

<<>>

Fix this by redirecting output instead of using “&” which
starts the command in background.
