perf tests bp_account: Fix leaked file descriptor

2025-08-15T10:05:03+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:

  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

2025-06-27T10:07:15+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
  106: Track with sched_switch                                         : Ok

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.

perf test: Make test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh more robust

2024-08-03T06:49:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit ff16aeb9b83441b8458d4235496cf320189a0c60 ]

The 2 second sleep can cause the test to fail on very slow network file
systems because Perf ends up being killed before it finishes starting
up.

Fix it by making the leafloop workload end after a fixed time like the
other workloads so there is no need to kill it after 2 seconds.

Also remove the 1 second start sampling delay because it is similarly
fragile. Instead, search through all samples for a matching one, rather
than just checking the first sample and hoping it's in the right place.

[ Upstream commit 33fe7c08446af6dda0ff08ff4fa9c921e574477f ]

$TEST_PROGRAM is a command with spaces so it's supposed to be word
split. The referenced fix to fix the shellcheck warnings incorrectly
quoted this string so unquote it to fix the test.

At the same time silence the shellcheck warning for that line and fix
two more shellcheck errors at the end of the script.

perf tests arm_callgraph_fp: Address shellcheck warnings about signal names and adding double quotes for expression

2024-08-03T06:49:14+00:00

[ Upstream commit 1bb17b4c6c91ad4d9468247cf5f5464fa6440668 ]

Running shellcheck -S on test_arm_calligraph_fp throws warnings SC2086 and SC3049,

      $shellcheck -S warning tests/shell/test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh
         rm -f $PERF_DATA
            : Double quote to prevent globbing and word splitting.
         trap cleanup_files exit term int
                     : In POSIX sh, using lower/mixed case for signal names is undefined.

After fixing the warnings,

      $shellcheck tests/shell/test_arm_callgraph_fp.sh
      $ echo $?
      0

To address the POSIX shell warnings added changes to convert Lowercase
signal names to uppercase in the script and double quoted the
command substitutions($fix to "$fix") to solve Globbing warnings.

perf tests: Make "test data symbol" more robust on Neoverse N1

2024-06-12T09:03:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 256ef072b3842273ce703db18b603b051aca95fe ]

To prevent anyone from seeing a test failure appear as a regression and
thinking that it was caused by their code change, insert some noise into
the loop which makes it immune to sampling bias issues (errata 1694299).

The "test data symbol" test can fail with any unrelated change that
shifts the loop into an unfortunate position in the Perf binary which is
almost impossible to debug as the root cause of the test failure.
Ultimately it's caused by the referenced errata.

perf test: Add 'datasym' test workload

2024-06-12T09:03:36+00:00

[ Upstream commit 3dfc01fe9d12a1e832f49deab37279faa8a9ebc8 ]

The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data
addresses precisely.  This is needed for data symbol test.

  $ perf test -w datasym

I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end
up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it
was not symbolized at all.  It needs to be fixed separately.

Committer notes:

Add a -U _FORTIFY_SOURCE to the datasym CFLAGS, as the main perf flags
set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has
a -O0.

The brstack is to run different kinds of branches repeatedly.  This is

  $ perf test -w brstack

I renamed the internal functions to have brstack_ prefix as it's too
