Sandipan Das aa90f9f955 perf tests: Fix indexing when invoking subtests
Recently, the subtest numbering was changed to start from 1.  While it
is fine for displaying results, this should not be the case when the
subtests are actually invoked.

Typically, the subtests are stored in zero-indexed arrays and invoked
based on the index passed to the main test function.  Since the index
now starts from 1, the second subtest in the array (index 1) gets
invoked instead of the first (index 0).  This applies to all of the
following subtests but for the last one, the subtest always fails
because it does not meet the boundary condition of the subtest index
being lesser than the number of subtests.

This can be observed on powerpc64 and x86_64 systems running Fedora 28
as shown below.

Before:

  # perf test "builtin clang support"
  55: builtin clang support                                 :
  55.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR                : Ok
  55.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object        : FAILED!

  # perf test "LLVM search and compile"
  38: LLVM search and compile                               :
  38.1: Basic BPF llvm compile                              : Ok
  38.2: kbuild searching                                    : Ok
  38.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation          : Ok
  38.4: Compile source for BPF relocation                   : FAILED!

  # perf test "BPF filter"
  40: BPF filter                                            :
  40.1: Basic BPF filtering                                 : Ok
  40.2: BPF pinning                                         : Ok
  40.3: BPF prologue generation                             : Ok
  40.4: BPF relocation checker                              : FAILED!

After:

  # perf test "builtin clang support"
  55: builtin clang support                                 :
  55.1: builtin clang compile C source to IR                : Ok
  55.2: builtin clang compile C source to ELF object        : Ok

  # perf test "LLVM search and compile"
  38: LLVM search and compile                               :
  38.1: Basic BPF llvm compile                              : Ok
  38.2: kbuild searching                                    : Ok
  38.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation          : Ok
  38.4: Compile source for BPF relocation                   : Ok

  # perf test "BPF filter"
  40: BPF filter                                            :
  40.1: Basic BPF filtering                                 : Ok
  40.2: BPF pinning                                         : Ok
  40.3: BPF prologue generation                             : Ok
  40.4: BPF relocation checker                              : Ok

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
