<title>perf test: Fix failure of 'evsel-tp-sched' test on s390</title>

[ Upstream commit 03d309711d687460d1345de8a0363f45b1c8cd11 ]

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                        :

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 '&amp;' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

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 '&amp;' instead.

This bug was detected with the help of Coccinelle.

[ Upstream commit b930e62ecd362843002bdf84c2940439822af321 ]

On s390 this test case fails because the socket identifiction numbers
assigned to the CPU are higher than the CPU identification numbers.

F/ix this by adding the platform architecture into the perf data header
flag information. This helps identifiing the test platform and handles
s390 specifics in process_cpu_topology().

Before:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -vvvvv -F 39
  39: Session topology                                      :
  --- start ---
  templ file: /tmp/perf-test-iUv755
  socket_id number is too big.You may need to upgrade the perf tool.
  ---- end ----
  Session topology: Skip
  [root@p23lp27 perf]#

After:

  [root@p23lp27 perf]# perf test -vvvvv -F 39
  39: Session topology                                      :

<title>perf tests: Use arch__compare_symbol_names to compare symbols</title>

[ Upstream commit ab6e9a99345131cd8e54268d1d0dc04a33f7ed11 ]

The symbol search called by machine__find_kernel_symbol_by_name is using
internally arch__compare_symbol_names function to compare 2 symbol
names, because different archs have different ways of comparing symbols.
Mostly for skipping '.' prefixes and similar.

In test 1 when we try to find matching symbols in kallsyms and vmlinux,
by address and by symbol name. When either is found we compare the pair
symbol names  by simple strcmp, which is not good enough for reasons
explained in previous paragraph.

On powerpc this can cause lockup, because even thought we found the
pair, the compared names are different and don't match simple strcmp.
Following code path is executed, that leads to lockup:

   - we find the pair in kallsyms by sym-&gt;start
next_pair:
   - we compare the names and it fails
   - we find the pair by sym-&gt;name
   - the pair addresses match so we call goto next_pair
     because we assume the names match in this case

It breaks the build of perf on 4.4.y, so I'm dropping it.

If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before
running objdump to parse binary data correctly.  This fixes a failure of
object code reading test for me.

[ Upstream commit 22905582f6dd4bbd0c370fe5732c607452010c04 ]

Command perf test -v 16 (Setup struct perf_event_attr test) always
reports success even if the test case fails.  It works correctly if you
also specify -F (for don't fork).

   root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf test -v 16

   ---- end ----
   Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok

The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.

This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.

The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.

This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.

   Setup struct perf_event_attr: Ok

The reason for the wrong error reporting is the return value of the
system() library call. It is called in run_dir() file tests/attr.c and
returns the exit status, in above case 0xff00.

This value is given as parameter to the exit() function which can only
handle values 0-0xff.

The child process terminates with exit value of 0 and the parent does
not detect any error.

This patch corrects the error reporting and prints the correct test
result.
