Testcase stat_all_metrics.sh fails in powerpc:

98: perf all metrics test : FAILED!

Based on above logs, we could see some of the hv-24x7 metric events
fails, and logs suggest to run the metric event with -a option.  This
change happened after the commit a4b8cfcabb1d90ec ("perf stat: Delay
metric parsing"), which delayed the metric parsing phase and now before
metric parsing phase perf tool identifies, whether target is system-wide
or not. With this change, perf_event_open will fails with workload
monitoring for uncore events as expected.

The perf all metric test case fails as some of the hv-24x7 metric events
may need bigger workload with system wide monitoring to get the data.
Fix this issue by changing current system wide check from true workload
to sleep 0.01 workload.

Result with the patch changes in powerpc:

[ Upstream commit b50d691e50e600fab82b423be871860537d75dc9 ]

Parametrized events are not only a powerpc domain. They occur on other
platforms too (e.g. aarch64). They should be ignored in this testcase,
since proper setup of the parameters is out of scope of this script.

Let's not filter them out by PMU name, but rather based on the fact that
they expect a parameter.

<title>perf test: Fix skipping branch stack sampling test</title>

Commit f4a2aade6809c657 ("perf tests powerpc: Fix branch stack sampling
test to include sanity check for branch filter") added a skip if certain
branch options aren't available.

But the change added both -b (--branch-any) and --branch-filter options
at the same time, which will always result in a failure on any platform
because the arguments can't be used together.

Fix this by removing -b (--branch-any) and leaving --branch-filter which
already specifies 'any'. Also add warning messages to the test and perf
tool.

Output on x86 before this fix:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Skip

After:

   $ sudo ./perf test branch
   108: Check branch stack sampling         : Ok

The virtual LBR test uses a python script to check the max size of
branch stack in the Intel-PT generated LBR.  But it didn't check whether
python scripting is available (as it's optional).

Let's skip the test if the python support is not available.

Testcase stat+json_output.sh fails in powerpc:

	86: perf stat JSON output linter : FAILED!

The testcase "stat+json_output.sh" verifies perf stat JSON output. The
test covers aggregation modes like per-socket, per-core, per-die, -A
(no_aggr mode) along with few other tests. It counts expected fields for
various commands. For example say -A (i.e, AGGR_NONE mode), expects 7
fields in the output having "CPU" as first field. Same way, for
per-socket, it expects the first field in result to point to socket id.
The testcases compares the result with expected count.

The values for socket, die, core and cpu are fetched from topology
directory:

  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology.

For example, socket value is fetched from "physical_package_id" file of
topology directory.  (cpu__get_topology_int() in util/cpumap.c)

If a platform fails to fetch the topology information, values will be
set to -1. For example, incase of pSeries platform of powerpc, value for
"physical_package_id" is restricted and not exposed. So, -1 will be
assigned.

Perf code has a checks for valid cpu id in "aggr_printout"
(stat-display.c), which displays the fields. So, in cases where topology
values not exposed, first field of the output displaying will be empty.
This cause the testcase to fail, as it counts  number of fields in the
output.

Incase of -A (AGGR_NONE mode,), testcase expects 7 fields in the output,
becos of -1 value obtained from topology files for some, only 6 fields
are printed. Hence a testcase failure reported due to mismatch in number
of fields in the output.

Patch here adds a sanity check in the testcase for topology.  Check will
help to skip the test if -1 value found.

Testcase stat+csv_output.sh fails in powerpc:

	84: perf stat CSV output linter: FAILED!

The testcase "stat+csv_output.sh" verifies perf stat CSV output. The
test covers aggregation modes like per-socket, per-core, per-die, -A
(no_aggr mode) along with few other tests. It counts expected fields for
various commands. For example say -A (i.e, AGGR_NONE mode), expects 7
fields in the output having "CPU" as first field. Same way, for
per-socket, it expects the first field in result to point to socket id.
The testcases compares the result with expected count.

The values for socket, die, core and cpu are fetched from topology
directory:

  /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/topology.

For example, socket value is fetched from "physical_package_id" file of
topology directory.  (cpu__get_topology_int() in util/cpumap.c)

If a platform fails to fetch the topology information, values will be
set to -1. For example, incase of pSeries platform of powerpc, value for
"physical_package_id" is restricted and not exposed. So, -1 will be
assigned.

Perf code has a checks for valid cpu id in "aggr_printout"
(stat-display.c), which displays the fields. So, in cases where topology
values not exposed, first field of the output displaying will be empty.
This cause the testcase to fail, as it counts  number of fields in the
output.

Incase of -A (AGGR_NONE mode,), testcase expects 7 fields in the output,
becos of -1 value obtained from topology files for some, only 6 fields
are printed. Hence a testcase failure reported due to mismatch in number
of fields in the output.

Patch here adds a sanity check in the testcase for topology.  Check will
help to skip the test if -1 value found.

Fixes: 7473ee56dbc91c98 ("perf test: Add checking for perf stat CSV output.")

Add tests:
	Test with MTC and TSC disabled
	Test with branches disabled
	Test with/without CYC
	Test recording with sample mode
	Test with kernel trace
	Test virtual LBR
	Test power events
	Test with TNT packets disabled
	Test with event_trace

These tests mostly check that perf record works with the corresponding
Intel PT config terms, sometimes also checking that certain packets do or
do not appear in the resulting trace as appropriate.

The "Test virtual LBR" is slightly trickier, using a Python script to
check that branch stacks are actually synthesized.

Add a test for decoding self-modifying code using a jitdump file.

The test creates a workload that uses self-modifying code and generates its
own jitdump file.  The result is processed with perf inject --jit and
checked for decoding errors.

Note the test will fail without patch "perf inject: Fix GEN_ELF_TEXT_OFFSET
for jit" applied.
