perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

2016-05-09T21:11:22+00:00

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer.

Test result:

  # ~/perf test 'ring buffer'
  45: Test backward reading from ring buffer                   : Ok

The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple
times.  Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one
PERF_RECORD_COMM.

The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can
afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of
events.

The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it
overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

perf tests: Add test to check for event times

2016-03-30T14:14:08+00:00

This test creates software event 'cpu-clock' attaches it in several ways
and checks that enabled and running times match.

Committer notes:

Testing it:

  [acme@jouet linux]$ perf test -v times

perf test: Print result for each BPF subtest

2015-11-19T16:19:16+00:00

This patch prints each sub-tests results for BPF testcases.

Before:

  # ./perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          : Ok

After:

  # ./perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :
  37.1: Test basic BPF filtering                               : Ok
  37.2: Test BPF prologue generation                           : Ok

When a failure happens:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
  [llvm]
      clang-path = "/bin/false"
  # ./perf test BPF
  37: Test BPF filter                                          :

perf test: Print result for each LLVM subtest

2015-11-19T16:19:16+00:00

Currently 'perf test llvm' and 'perf test BPF' have multiple sub-tests,
but the result is provided in only one line:

  # perf test LLVM
  35: Test LLVM searching and compiling                        : Ok

This patch introduces sub-tests support, allowing 'perf test' to report
result for each sub-tests:

  # perf test LLVM

When a failure happens:

  # cat ~/.perfconfig
