perf tests bp_account: Fix leaked file descriptor

2025-08-28T14:21:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4a6cdecaa1497f1fbbd1d5307a225b6ca5a62a90 ]

Since the commit e9846f5ead26 ("perf test: In forked mode add check that
fds aren't leaked"), the test "Breakpoint accounting" reports the error:

  # perf test -vvv "Breakpoint accounting"
  20: Breakpoint accounting:
  --- start ---

  wp 2 created
  wp 3 created
  wp 0 modified to bp
  wp max created
  ---- end(0) ----
  Leak of file descriptor 7 that opened: 'anon_inode:[perf_event]'

A watchpoint's file descriptor was not properly released. This patch
fixes the leak.

perf tests switch-tracking: Fix timestamp comparison

2025-06-27T10:02:48+00:00

[ Upstream commit 628e124404b3db5e10e17228e680a2999018ab33 ]

The test might fail on the Arm64 platform with the error:

  # perf test -vvv "Track with sched_switch"
  Missing sched_switch events
  #

The issue is caused by incorrect handling of timestamp comparisons. The
comparison result, a signed 64-bit value, was being directly cast to an
int, leading to incorrect sorting for sched events.

The case does not fail everytime, usually I can trigger the failure
after run 20 ~ 30 times:

  # while true; do perf test "Track with sched_switch"; done

I used cross compiler to build Perf tool on my host machine and tested on
Debian / Juno board.  Generally, I think this issue is not very specific
to GCC versions.  As both internal CI and my local env can reproduce the
issue.

My Host Build compiler:

  # aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version
  aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0

Juno Board:

  # lsb_release -a
  No LSB modules are available.
  Distributor ID: Debian
  Description:    Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
  Release:        12
  Codename:       bookworm

Fix this by explicitly returning 0, 1, or -1 based on whether the result
is zero, positive, or negative.

Without gcc, the test will fail.

On cleanup, ignore probe removal errors. Otherwise, in case of an error
adding the probe, the temporary directory is not removed.

perf tests: Remove bash construct from record+zstd_comp_decomp.sh

[ Upstream commit a9cdc1c5e3700a5200e5ca1f90b6958b6483845b ]

Commit 463538a383a2 ("perf tests: Fix test 68 zstd compression for
s390") inadvertently removed the -g flag from all platforms rather than
just s390, because the [[ ]] construct fails in sh. Changing to single
brackets restores testing of call graphs and removes the following error
from the output:

perf test: Fix unaligned access in sample parsing test

2021-03-04T09:26:35+00:00

[ Upstream commit c5c97cadd7ed13381cb6b4bef5c841a66938d350 ]

The ubsan reported the following error.  It was because sample's raw
data missed u32 padding at the end.  So it broke the alignment of the
array after it.

The raw data contains an u32 size prefix so the data size should have
an u32 padding after 8-byte aligned data.

perf test session topology: Fix data path

2020-10-14T08:32:59+00:00

commit dbd660e6b2884b864d2642d930a163d3bcebe4be upstream.

Commit 2d4f27999b88 ("perf data: Add global path holder") missed path
conversion in tests/topology.c, causing the "Session topology" testcase
to "hang" (waits forever for input from stdin) when doing "ssh $VM perf
test".

Can be reproduced by running "cat | perf test topo", and crashed by
replacing cat with true:

  $ true | perf test -v topo
  40: Session topology                                      :
