perf test bpf: Skip test if clang is not present

2022-05-21T17:54:21+00:00

Perf BPF filter test fails in environment where "clang" is not
installed.

Test failure logs:

<<>>
 42: BPF filter                    :
 42.1: Basic BPF filtering         : Skip
 42.2: BPF pinning                 : FAILED!
 42.3: BPF prologue generation     : FAILED!
<<>>

Enabling verbose option provided debug logs which says clang/llvm needs
to be installed. Snippet of verbose logs:

<<>>
 42.2: BPF pinning                  :
 --- start ---
test child forked, pid 61423
ERROR:	unable to find clang.
Hint:	Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF.
        Check your $PATH

<>

Failed to compile test case: 'Basic BPF llvm compile'
Unable to get BPF object, fix kbuild first
test child finished with -1
 ---- end ----
BPF filter subtest 2: FAILED!
<<>>

Here subtests, "BPF pinning" and "BPF prologue generation" failed and
logs shows clang/llvm is needed. After installing clang, testcase
passes.

Reason on why subtest failure happens though logs has proper debug
information:

Main function __test__bpf calls test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj by
passing 4th argument as true ( 4th arguments maps to parameter
"force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj ). But this will cause
test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj to skip the check for clang/llvm.

Snippet of code part which checks for clang based on
parameter "force" in test_llvm__fetch_bpf_obj:

<<>>
if (!force && (!llvm_param.user_set_param &&
<<>>

Since force is set to "false", test won't get skipped and fails to
compile test case. The BPF code compilation needs clang, So pass the
fourth argument as "false" and also skip the test if reason for return
is "TEST_SKIP"

After the patch:

<<>>
 42: BPF filter                    :
 42.1: Basic BPF filtering         : Skip
 42.2: BPF pinning                 : Skip
 42.3: BPF prologue generation     : Skip
<<>>

perf test session topology: Fix test to skip the test in guest environment

2022-05-21T17:52:33+00:00

The session topology test fails in powerpc pSeries platform.

Test logs:

  <<>>
  Session topology : FAILED!
  <<>>

This testcases tests cpu topology by checking the core_id and socket_id
stored in perf_env from perf session. The data from perf session is
compared with the cpu topology information from
"/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology" like core_id,
physical_package_id.

In case of virtual environment, detail like physical_package_id is
restricted to be exposed. Hence physical_package_id is set to -1. The
testcase fails on such platforms since socket_id can't be fetched from
topology info.

Skip the testcase in powerpc if physical_package_id returns -1.

perf test: Avoid shell test description infinite loop

2022-05-21T17:45:19+00:00

for_each_shell_test() is already strict in expecting tests to be files
and executable. It is sometimes possible when it iterates over all files
that it finds one that is executable and lacks a newline character. When
this happens the loop never terminates as it doesn't check for EOF.

Add the EOF check to make this loop at least bounded by the file size.

If the description is returned as NULL then also skip the test.

perf test: Fix "all PMU test" to skip hv_24x7/hv_gpci tests on powerpc

2022-05-21T17:45:06+00:00

"perf all PMU test" picks the input events from "perf list --raw-dump
pmu" list and runs "perf stat -e" for each of the event in the list. In
case of powerpc, the PowerVM environment supports events from hv_24x7
and hv_gpci PMU which is of example format like below:

- hv_24x7/CPM_ADJUNCT_INST,domain=?,core=?/
- hv_gpci/event,partition_id=?/

The value for "?" needs to be filled in depending on system and
respective event. CPM_ADJUNCT_INST needs have core value and domain
value. hv_gpci event needs partition_id.  Similarly, there are other
events for hv_24x7 and hv_gpci having "?" in event format. Hence skip
these events on powerpc platform since values like partition_id, domain
is specific to system and event.

perf tests: Fix coresight `perf test` failure.

2022-05-09T00:48:49+00:00

Currently the `perf test` always fails the coresight test like:

  89: Check Arm CoreSight trace data recording and synthesized samples: FAILED!

That is because the test_arm_coresight.sh is attempting to SIGINT the
parent but is using $$ rather than $PPID and it sigint's itself when
run under the perf test framework.

Since this is done in a trap clause it ends up returning a non zero
return.

Since $PPID is a bash ism and not all distros are linking /bin/sh to
bash, the alternative parent pid lookups are uglier than just dropping
the kill, and its not strictly needed, lets pick the simple solution and
drop the sigint.

perf test: Fix error message for test case 71 on s390, where it is not supported

2022-04-22T21:39:34+00:00

Test case 71 'Convert perf time to TSC' is not supported on s390.

Subtest 71.1 is skipped with the correct message, but subtest 71.2 is
not skipped and fails.

The root cause is function evlist__open() called from
test__perf_time_to_tsc().  evlist__open() returns -ENOENT because the
event cycles:u is not supported by the selected PMU, for example
platform s390 on z/VM or an x86_64 virtual machine.

The PMU driver returns -ENOENT in this case. This error is leads to the
failure.

Fix this by returning TEST_SKIP on -ENOENT.

Output before:
 71: Convert perf time to TSC:
 71.1: TSC support:             Skip (This architecture does not support)
 71.2: Perf time to TSC:        FAILED!

Output after:
 71: Convert perf time to TSC:
 71.1: TSC support:             Skip (This architecture does not support)
 71.2: Perf time to TSC:        Skip (perf_read_tsc_conversion is not supported)

This also happens on an x86_64 virtual machine:
   # uname -m
   x86_64
   $ ./perf test -F 71
    71: Convert perf time to TSC  :
    71.1: TSC support             : Ok
    71.2: Perf time to TSC        : FAILED!
   $

Committer testing:

Continues to work on x86_64:

  $ perf test 71
   71: Convert perf time to TSC    :
   71.1: TSC support               : Ok
   71.2: Perf time to TSC          : Ok

perf unwind: Don't show unwind error messages when augmenting frame pointer stack

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2c29736 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when
using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'") intended to add a 'best effort'
DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios.

It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be
reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be
determined from the contents of the link register alone.

Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding
a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the
normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

perf test tsc: Fix error message when not supported

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the
child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child
process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.

This patch does:

- return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
  perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.

- Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
  architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
  It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
  TEST_SKIP by doing this.

- Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
  Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip
  reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it
  is necessary to extend current test suite definition.

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the
       asynchronous events, when they are generated, and when their
       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

           - VM exits include the values written to the “exit reason”
             and “exit qualification” VMCS fields. INIT and SIPI events.

        o TSX aborts, including the abort status returned for the RTM
          instructions.

        o Shutdown.

       Additionally, it provides indication of the status of the
       Interrupt Flag (IF), to indicate when interrupts are masked"

  ARM CoreSight:

   - Use advertised caps/min_interval as default sample_period on ARM
     spe.

   - Update deduction of TRCCONFIGR register for branch broadcast on
     ARM's CoreSight ETM.

  Vendor Events (JSON):

  Intel:

   - Update events and metrics for: Alderlake, Broadwell, Broadwell DE,
     BroadwellX, CascadelakeX, Elkhartlake, Bonnell, Goldmont,
     GoldmontPlus, Westmere EP-DP, Haswell, HaswellX, Icelake, IcelakeX,
     Ivybridge, Ivytown, Jaketown, Knights Landing, Nehalem EP,
     Sandybridge, Silvermont, Skylake, Skylake Server, SkylakeX,
     Tigerlake, TremontX, Westmere EP-SP, and Westmere EX.

  ARM:

   - Add support for HiSilicon CPA PMU aliasing.

  perf stat:

   - Fix forked applications enablement of counters.

   - The 'slots' should only be printed on a different order than the
     one specified on the command line when 'topdown' events are
     present, fix it.

  Miscellaneous:

   - Sync msr-index, cpufeatures header files with the kernel sources.

   - Stop using some deprecated libbpf APIs in 'perf trace'.

   - Fix some spelling mistakes.

   - Refactor the maps pointers usage to pave the way for using refcount
     debugging.

   - Only offer the --tui option on perf top, report and annotate when
     perf was built with libslang.

   - Don't mention --to-ctf in 'perf data --help' when not linking with
     the required library, libbabeltrace.

   - Use ARRAY_SIZE() instead of ad hoc equivalent, spotted by
     array_size.cocci.

   - Enhance the matching of sub-commands abbreviations:
	'perf c2c rec' -> 'perf c2c record'
	'perf c2c recport -> error

   - Set build-id using build-id header on new mmap records.

   - Fix generation of 'perf --version' string.

  perf test:

   - Add test for the arm_spe event.

   - Add test to check unwinding using fame-pointer (fp) mode on arm64.

   - Make metric testing more robust in 'perf test'.

   - Add error message for unsupported branch stack cases.

  libperf:

   - Add API for allocating new thread map array.

   - Fix typo in perf_evlist__open() failure error messages in libperf
     tests.

  perf c2c:

   - Replace bitmap_weight() with bitmap_empty() where appropriate"
