Revert "perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump"

2018-04-20T06:21:06+00:00

This reverts commit 7525a238be8f46617cdda29d1be5b85ffe3b042d which is
commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 upstream.

It breaks the build of perf on 4.9.y, so I'm dropping it.

perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdump

2018-04-13T17:48:25+00:00

[ Upstream commit 94df1040b1e6aacd8dec0ba3c61d7e77cd695f26 ]

If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before
running objdump to parse binary data correctly.  This fixes a failure of
object code reading test for me.

perf symbols: Remove symbol_filter_t machinery

2016-09-05T14:14:50+00:00

We're not using it anymore, few users were, but we really could do
without it, simplify lots of functions by removing it.

perf tests: objdump output can contain multi byte chunks

2016-08-02T19:42:51+00:00

objdump's raw insn output can vary across architectures on the number of
bytes per chunk (bpc) displayed and their endianness.

The code-reading test relied on reading objdump output as 1 bpc. Kaixu
Xia reported test failure on ARM64, where objdump displays 4 bpc:

  70c48:        f90027bf         str        xzr, [x29,#72]
  70c4c:        91224000         add        x0, x0, #0x890
  70c50:        f90023a0         str        x0, [x29,#64]

This patch adds support to read raw insn output for any bpc length.
In case of 2+ bpc it also guesses objdump's display endian.

perf evsel: Do not use globals in config()

2016-04-12T01:18:20+00:00

Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain
aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed.

This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist
gets callchains enabled.

perf tools: Add cpumode to struct perf_sample

2016-03-23T15:03:07+00:00

To avoid parsing event->header.misc in many locations.

This will also allow setting perf.sample.{ip,cpumode} in a single place,
from tracepoint fields, as needed by 'perf kvm' with PPC guests, where
the guest hardware counters is not available at the host.

perf test: Reduce the sample_freq for the 'object code reading' test

2016-02-19T22:12:44+00:00

Using 4 kHz is not necessary and sometimes is more than what was
auto-tuned:

  # dmesg | grep max_sample_rate | tail -2
  [ 2499.144373] perf interrupt took too long (2501 > 2500), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 50000
  [ 3592.413606] perf interrupt took too long (5069 > 5000), lowering kernel.perf_event_max_sample_rate to 25000

Simulating a auto-tune of 2000 we make the test fail, as reported
by Steven Noonan for one of his machines, so reduce it to 500 HZ,
it is enough to get a good number of samples for this test:

  # perf test -v 21 2>&1  | grep '^Reading object code for memory address' | tee /tmp/out | tail -5
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x479f40
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea80d
  Reading object code for memory address: 0x7f29b7eea800
  Reading object code for memory address: 0xffffffff813b2f23
  [root@jouet ~]# wc -l /tmp/out
  40 /tmp/out
  [root@jouet ~]#

For systems that auto-tune below that, the previous patches will tell the
user what is happening so that he may either ignore the result of this test or
bump /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.

perf tests: Use perf_evlist__strerror_open() to provide hints about max_freq

2016-02-19T22:12:43+00:00

Before:

  # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -4

  ---- end ----
  Test object code reading: FAILED!

After:

  # perf test -v "code reading" 2>&1 | tail -7
  perf_evlist__open() failed!
  Error: Invalid argument.
  Hint:  Check /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate.
  Hint:  The current value is 1000 and 4000 is being requested.
  test child finished with -1

perf test: Use machine__new_host in mmap thread code reading test

2015-12-07T21:12:55+00:00

This is more straightforward than what we have now.

It also fixes a segfault within machine__exit, that's caused
by not creating kernel maps for machine.. We're calling
machine__destroy_kernel_maps in machine__exit since commit:
