perf test -vv Symbols is used to indentify symbols within the perf binary. Add the -F flag so that the test command doesn't fork the test before running. This removes a little overhead.

As a form of validation, it is a common practice to check the outputs of commands whether they contain expected patterns or match a certain regex. Add helpers for verifying that all regexes are found in the output, that all lines match any pattern from a set and that a certain expression is not present in the output. In verbose mode these helpers log mismatches for easier failure investigation.

To get some fixes in the perf test and JSON metrics into the development branch. Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org>
Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].
perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.
This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:
[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load
[...]
On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles
Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.
Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3
