perf test: Fix failure of 'evsel-tp-sched' test on s390

2019-05-02T20:41:37+00:00

commit 03d309711d687460d1345de8a0363f45b1c8cd11 upstream.

Commit 489338a717a0 ("perf tests evsel-tp-sched: Fix bitwise operator")
causes test case 14 "Parse sched tracepoints fields" to fail on s390.

This test succeeds on x86.

In fact this test now fails on all architectures with type char treated
as type unsigned char.

The root cause is the signed-ness of character arrays in the tracepoints
sched_switch for structure members prev_comm and next_comm.

On s390 the output of:

 [root@m35lp76 perf]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
 name: sched_switch
 ID: 287
 format:
   field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:8; size:16;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:0;

reveals the character arrays prev_comm and next_comm are per
default unsigned char and have values in the range of 0..255.

On x86 both fields are signed as this output shows:
 [root@f29]# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/format
 name: sched_switch
 ID: 287
 format:
   field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2;	signed:0;
   ...
   field:char prev_comm[16]; offset:8; size:16;	signed:1;
   ...
   field:char next_comm[16]; offset:40; size:16; signed:1;

and the character arrays prev_comm and next_comm are per default signed
char and have values in the range of -1..127.  The implementation of
type char is architecture specific.

Since the character arrays in both tracepoints sched_switch and
sched_wakeup should contain ascii characters, simply omit the check for
signedness in the test case.

Output before:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -F 14
  14: Parse sched tracepoints fields                        :
  --- start ---
  sched:sched_switch: "prev_comm" signedness(0) is wrong, should be 1
  sched:sched_switch: "next_comm" signedness(0) is wrong, should be 1
  sched:sched_wakeup: "comm" signedness(0) is wrong, should be 1
  ---- end ----
  14: Parse sched tracepoints fields                        : FAILED!
  [root@m35lp76 perf]#

Output after:

  [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -Fv 14
  14: Parse sched tracepoints fields                        :
  --- start ---

perf tests evsel-tp-sched: Fix bitwise operator

2019-05-02T20:41:37+00:00

commit 489338a717a0dfbbd5a3fabccf172b78f0ac9015 upstream.

Notice that the use of the bitwise OR operator '|' always leads to true
in this particular case, which seems a bit suspicious due to the context
in which this expression is being used.

Fix this by using bitwise AND operator '&' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

perf tools: Fix snprint warnings for gcc 8

2018-11-20T18:06:05+00:00

commit 77f18153c080855e1c3fb520ca31a4e61530121d upstream.

With gcc 8 we get new set of snprintf() warnings that breaks the
compilation, one example:

  tests/mem.c: In function ‘check’:
  tests/mem.c:19:48: error: ‘%s’ directive output may be truncated writing \
        up to 99 bytes into a region of size 89 [-Werror=format-truncation=]
    snprintf(failure, sizeof failure, "unexpected %s", out);

The gcc docs says:

 To avoid the warning either use a bigger buffer or handle the
 function's return value which indicates whether or not its output
 has been truncated.

Given that all these warnings are harmless, because the code either
properly fails due to uncomplete file path or we don't care for
truncated output at all, I'm changing all those snprintf() calls to
scnprintf(), which actually 'checks' for the snprint return value so the
gcc stays silent.
