When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board. After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little CPUs. This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant. Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any event data after return from polling. Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a difficult task and a different topic. This patch tries to fix the Perf test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return failure. This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.
