hwpmc tests: the sampling log file
Nine ATF cases covering PMC_OP_CONFIGURELOG and the descriptor-less

in the first place, and what the log operations do without one.

+/**
+ * @file
+ * Tests for the log file a sampling PMC writes through: which descriptors
+ * PMC_OP_CONFIGURELOG accepts, when a log is required at all, and what the
+ * descriptor-less log operations do without one.
+ *
+ * Two properties are asserted because they are easy to get backwards. A
+ * sampling PMC does not as such need a log: PMC_F_NEEDS_LOGFILE covers
+ * only one attached to a process other than its owner, and system-mode
+ * PMCs, so a PMC that samples its owner starts with none. And the
+ * descriptor need not be a regular file - a socket is accepted, and has to
+ * be: that is the shape pmcstat(8) uses for a pipe or a network peer.
+ *
+ * Log ownership is per process and sticky, a second PMC_OP_CONFIGURELOG
+ * being refused with EBUSY, so no case may configure a log the next one
+ * depends on; ATF's per-case process supplies that isolation, and the case
+ * needing a second fresh owner forks for it.
+ *
+ * The sampling cases skip where there is no hardware PMC, so the skip
+ * count is part of the result.
