perf test: Add 'perf test BPF'

2015-11-06T20:50:03+00:00

This patch adds BPF testcase for testing BPF event filtering.

By utilizing the result of 'perf test LLVM', this patch compiles the
eBPF sample program then test its ability. The BPF script in 'perf test
LLVM' lets only 50% samples generated by epoll_pwait() to be captured.
This patch runs that system call for 111 times, so the result should
contain 56 samples.

perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directory

2015-10-05T19:55:43+00:00

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and
define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply
to the build architecture.

We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is
present in the generic perf tests.

perf tests: Add arch tests

2015-10-05T19:55:38+00:00

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in
the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests
into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which
is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture.

The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build
out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in
tools/perf/tests.

perf tools: Add a test for decoding of new x86 instructions

2015-09-04T15:01:02+00:00

Add a new test titled:

	Test x86 instruction decoder - new instructions

The purpose of this test is to check the instruction decoder after new
instructions have been added.  Initially, MPX instructions are tested
which are already supported, but the definitions in x86-opcode-map.txt
will be tweaked in a subsequent patch, after which this test can be run
to verify those changes.

The data for the test comes from assembly language instructions in
insn-x86-dat-src.c which is converted into bytes by the scripts
gen-insn-x86-dat.sh and gen-insn-x86-dat.awk, and included into the test
program insn-x86.c as insn-x86-dat-32.c and insn-x86-dat-64.c.

The conversion is not done as part of the perf tools build because the
test data must be under (git) change control in order for the test to be
repeatably-correct.  Also it may require a recent version of binutils.

Commiter notes:

Using it:

perf tests: Add LLVM test for eBPF on-the-fly compiling

2015-08-07T13:57:24+00:00

Previous patches introduce llvm__compile_bpf() to compile source file to
eBPF object. This patch adds testcase to test it. It also tests libbpf
by opening generated object after applying next patch which introduces
HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT option.

Since llvm__compile_bpf() prints long messages which users who don't
explicitly test llvm doesn't care, this patch set verbose to -1 to
suppress all debug, warning and error message, and hint user use 'perf
test -v' to see the full output.

For the same reason, if clang is not found in PATH and there's no [llvm]
section in .perfconfig, skip this test.

perf tests: Switch from open to openat

2015-05-29T15:43:41+00:00

Multiple perf tests fail on arm64 due to missing open syscall:

 2: detect open syscall event                              : FAILED!

open(2) is a legacy syscall, replaced with openat(2) since 2.6.16.  Thus
new architectures in kernel, such as arm64, don't implement these legacy
syscalls.

The patch replaces all sys_enter_open events with sys_enter_openat,
renames the related tests and test output to avoid confusion.

perf tools: Add ARM64 perf_regs_load to support libunwind and enable testing

2015-05-29T15:43:40+00:00

Newest libunwind does support ARM64, and perf is able to utilize it
also.

This patch enables the perf test dwarf unwind for arm64.

  # ./perf test unwind

perf tests: Show refcounting broken expectations in thread-mg-share test

2015-05-12T12:59:51+00:00

To help understand the failure.

  [acme@zoo linux]$ perf test -v 30
  30: Test thread mg sharing                                 :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 12275
  FAILED tests/thread-mg-share.c:68 wrong refcnt (4 != 3)
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Test thread mg sharing: FAILED!
  [acme@zoo linux]$

This is under investigation, the thread__delete() calls were replaced
with thread__put(), and those cause mismatches because now we need to be
more judicious with the thread lifetime management.

I.e. previously the thread__delete() would drop the map_group refcount,
but now since thread__put doesn't call thread__delete() necessarily.
because we have other refcount holders, the map_group refcount will not
be as we expected when this test was implemented.

Will be fixed soon...
