ftracetest: Fix instance test to use proper shell command for pids

2016-02-19T17:11:21+00:00

The ftracetest instance test used parsing of the "jobs" output to find the
pid of the subshell that is executed previously. But this is not portable to
all major shells that may run these tests. The proper way to get the pid of
the subshell is the shell command "$!". This will return the pid of the
previously executed command. Use that instead, otherwise the test does not
work in all environments.

ftracetest: Add instance create and delete test

2015-11-24T14:29:14+00:00

Create a test to test instance creation and deletion. Several tasks are
created that create 3 directories and delete them. The tasks all create the
same directories. This places a stress on the code that creates and deletes
instances.

selftests: kprobe: Choose an always-defined function to probe

2015-11-03T23:54:51+00:00

do_fork() is no longer defined on x86, so probe _do_fork() instead.

ftracetest: Do not use usleep directly

2015-04-03T15:16:32+00:00

The usleep is only provided on distros from Redhat so running ftracetest
on other distro resulted in failures due to the missing usleep.

The reason of using [u]sleep in the test was to generate (scheduler)
events.  It can be done various ways like this:

yield() {  ping localhost -c 1 || sleep .001 || usleep 1 || sleep 1; }

ftracetest: Convert exit -1 to exit $FAIL

2015-03-31T16:15:46+00:00

POSIX says that exit takes an unsigned integer between 0 and 255, so
using -1 doesn't work on POSIX shells.

There is already a well-defined failure code, $FAIL (1), so use that.

ftracetest: Cope properly with stack tracer not being enabled

2015-03-31T16:15:36+00:00

If the stack tracer (CONFIG_STACK_TRACER) is disabled, the
fgraph-filter-stack test blows chunks:

  [8] ftrace - function graph filters with stack tracer	[FAIL]
  + reset_tracer
  + echo nop
  ./ftracetest: 19: /home/michael/selftests/ftrace/test.d/ftrace/fgraph-filter-stack.tc:
  	cannot create /proc/sys/kernel/stack_tracer_enabled: Directory nonexistent

Fix it by checking if the proc file exists before echoing to it. With
the patch applied it fails correctly with:

  [8] ftrace - function graph filters with stack tracer	[UNSUPPORTED]

ftracetest: Add basic event tracing test cases

2014-11-06T13:40:59+00:00

This patch adds basic event tracing tests like enable/disable with
top-level, subsystem-level and individual event files.

  # ./ftracetest

  [2] Basic trace clock test	[PASS]
  [3] Basic event tracing check	[PASS]
  [4] Basic test for tracers	[PASS]
  [5] event tracing - enable/disable with top level files	[PASS]
  [6] event tracing - enable/disable with subsystem level files	[PASS]
  [7] event tracing - enable/disable with event level files	[PASS]
  [8] ftrace - function graph filters	[PASS]
  [9] ftrace - function profiler with function tracing	[PASS]

ftracetest: Clear trace buffer after running kprobe testcases

2014-11-06T13:39:39+00:00

The kprobe testcases create, use and delete dynamic events during the
test but didn't clear the trace buffer so it'll leave the result after
it finishes.

ftracetest: Add a couple of ftrace test cases

2014-11-06T13:35:52+00:00

Added three test cases to get the feel of adding tests to ftracetest.
The three cases are:

  function profiling test, to make sure function profiling still works
   with function tracing (was a regression)

  function graph filter test to make sure that function graph filtering works.

  function graph filter with stack tracing test to make sure that the function
   graph filter does filter and also continues to filter when another function tracer
   is running (like the stack tracer)

ftracetest: Add functions file that holds helper functions

2014-11-06T13:30:02+00:00

Created the file tools/testing/ftrace/test.d/functions that will
hold helper functions.

Current helper functions include:

 Add clear_trace() helper to reset the trace file

   Used as a descriptive name to show that "echo > trace" is clearing
   the trace file.

 Add disable/enable_tracing() helper calls

   Add calls that disable and enable tracing respectively by echoing
   0 or 1 into tracing_on.

 Add helper reset_tracer() function

    Add a helper function reset_tracer() that will clear the current_tracer
    (echo nop > current_tracer).
