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.
