Well that's expected if you don't have autofdo installed or perf with
lbrs is not working. The test case will be UNSUP in this case.

But it's not expected that it is not deterministic, so that it changes
run to run. Do you see that? Or some other problem? Please describe
it exactly.

If yes, did it start before r238320 or only afer?
