run_tests only runs the perf_event regressiong tests.
To run the fuzzer, enter the "fuzzer" directory and either run
"./fast_repro98.sh"
which will run the fuzzer repeatedly, or you can instead just run
./perf_fuzzer
but that sometimes eventually errors out if it manages to get stuck in a
signal storm.
While running on haswell and skylake machines the WARNINGs trigger fairly
quickly (within minutes usually).
You might also encounter a handful of other known kernel warnings which
I've reported in the past and usually just ignore.
