perf test: Fix non-bash issue with stat bpf counters

2021-06-19T13:06:46+00:00

$(( .. )) is a bash feature but the test's interpreter is !/bin/sh,
switch the code to use expr.

perf test: Test 17 fails with make LIBPFM4=1 on s390 z/VM

2021-06-01T13:57:39+00:00

This test case fails on s390 virtual machine z/VM which has no PMU support
when the perf tool is built with LIBPFM4=1.

Using make LIBPFM4=1 builds the perf tool with support for libpfm
event notation. The command line flag --pfm-events is valid:
 # ./perf record --pfm-events cycles -- true
 [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
 [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (2 samples) ]
 #

However the command 'perf test -Fv 17' fails on s390 z/VM virtual machine
with LIBPFM4=1:
  # perf test -Fv 17
  17: Setup struct perf_event_attr                                    :
  --- start ---
  .....
  running './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
  unsupp  './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
  running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
  expected exclude_hv=0, got 1
 FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' - match failure
 ---- end ----
 Setup struct perf_event_attr: FAILED!

When --pfm-event system is not supported, the test returns unsupported
and continues. Here is an example using a virtual machine on x86 and
Fedora 34:
 [root@f33 perf]# perf test -Fv 17
 17: Setup struct perf_event_attr                                    :
 --- start ---
 .....
 running './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
 unsupp  './tests/attr/test-record-group2'
 running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
 unsupp  './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period'
 ....

The issue is file ./tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period
which requires perf event attribute member exclude_hv to be zero.
This is not the case on s390 where the value of exclude_hv is one when
executing on a z/VM virtual machine without PMU hardware support.

Fix this by allowing value exlucde_hv to be zero or one.

Output before:
 # /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \
	test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf  -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match
    matching [event:base-record]
    match: [event:base-record] matches []
 FAILED './tests/attr//test-record-pfm-period' - match failure
 #

Output after:
 # /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \
	test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf  -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match
    matching [event:base-record]
    match: [event:base-record] matches ['event-1-0-6', 'event-1-0-5']
  matched

Background:
Using libpfm library ends up in this function call sequence

pfm_get_perf_event_encoding()
+-- pfm_get_os_event_encoding()
    +-- pfmlib_perf_event_encode()

is called when no hardware specific PMU unit can be detected
as in the s390 z/VM virtual machine case. This uses the
"perf_events generic PMU" data structure which sets exclude_hv
to 1 per default.  Using this PMU that test case always fails.

That is the reason why exclude_hv attribute setting varies.

Version 2:

   As suggested by Ian Rogers make perf_event_attribute member
   exclude_hv more robust and accept value 0 or 1 to handle more
   test cases which might fail on s390 virtual machine z/VM.

perf test: Fix libpfm4 support (63) test error for nested event groups

2021-05-19T13:30:37+00:00

Compiling perf with make LIBPFM4=1 includes libpfm support and
enables test case 63 'Test libpfm4 support'. This test reports an error
on all platforms for subtest 63.2 'test groups of --pfm-events'.
The reported error message is 'nested event groups not supported'

 # ./perf test -F 63
 63: Test libpfm4 support                                            :
 63.1: test of individual --pfm-events                               :
 Error:

 Error:

 Error:

 63.2: test groups of --pfm-events                                   :
 Error:

 Error:
 failed to parse event {stereolab} : event not found
 Error:
 failed to parse event {instructions,cycles},{instructions,stereolab} :\
	 event not found
 Ok
 #

This patch addresses the error message 'nested event groups not supported'.
The root cause is function parse_libpfm_events_option() which parses the
event string '{},{instructions}' and can not handle a leading empty
group notation '{},...'.

The code detects the first (empty) group indicator '{' but does not
terminate group processing on the following group closing character '}'.
So when the second group indicator '{' is detected, the code assumes
a nested group and returns an error.

With the error message fixed, also change the expected event number to
one for the test case to succeed.

While at it also fix a memory leak. In good case the function does not
free the duplicated string given as first parameter.

Output after:
 # ./perf test -F 63
 63: Test libpfm4 support                                            :

tools headers UAPI: Sync perf_event.h with the kernel sources

2021-05-10T12:01:01+00:00

To pick up the changes in:

  2b26f0aa004995f4 ("perf: Support only inheriting events if cloned with CLONE_THREAD")
  2e498d0a74e5b88a ("perf: Add support for event removal on exec")

  97ba62b278674293 ("perf: Add support for SIGTRAP on perf events")
  d0d1dd628527c77d ("perf core: Add PERF_COUNT_SW_CGROUP_SWITCHES event")

Also change the expected sizeof(struct perf_event_attr) from 120 to 128 due to
fields being added for the SIGTRAP changes.

Addressing this perf build warning:

  Warning: Kernel ABI header at 'tools/include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h' differs from latest version at 'include/uapi/linux/perf_event.h'

perf tests: Skip 'perf stat metrics (shadow stat) test' for hybrid

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Currently we don't support shadow stat for hybrid.

  root@ssp-pwrt-002:~# ./perf stat -e cycles,instructions -a -- sleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

      12,883,109,591      cpu_core/cycles/
       6,405,163,221      cpu_atom/cycles/
         555,553,778      cpu_core/instructions/
         841,158,734      cpu_atom/instructions/

         1.002644773 seconds time elapsed

Now there is no shadow stat 'insn per cycle' reported. We will support
it later and now just skip the 'perf stat metrics (shadow stat) test'.

perf tests: Support 'Convert perf time to TSC' test for hybrid

2021-04-29T13:31:00+00:00

Since for "cycles:u' on hybrid platform, it creates two "cycles".  So
the second evsel in evlist also needs initialization.

With this patch,
