perf test stat_bpf_counters_cgrp: Enhance perf stat cgroup BPF counter test

2023-08-29T17:16:15+00:00

It has system-wide test and cpu-list test but the cpu-list test fails
sometimes.  It runs sleep command on CPU1 and measure both user.slice
and system.slice cgroups by default (on systemd-based systems).

But if the system was idle enough, sometime the system.slice gets no
count and it makes the test failing.  Maybe that's because it only looks
at the CPU1, let's add CPU0 to increase the chance it finds some tasks.

perf test shell stat_bpf_counters: Fix test on Intel

2023-08-29T17:16:14+00:00

As of now, bpf counters (bperf) don't support event groups.  But the
default perf stat includes topdown metrics if supported (on recent Intel
machines) which require groups.  That makes perf stat exiting.

  $ sudo perf stat --bpf-counter true
  bpf managed perf events do not yet support groups.

Actually the test explicitly uses cycles event only, but it missed to
pass the option when it checks the availability of the command.

perf test shell record_bpf_filter: Skip 6.2 kernel

2023-08-29T17:16:14+00:00

The BPF sample filtering requires two kernel changes below:

 * bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() kfunc (added in v6.2)

 * setting perf_sample_data->sample_flags (finished in v6.3)

The perf tools can check bpf_cast_to_kernel_ctx() easily so it can
refuse BPF filters on those old kernels (v6.1 and earlier).

But checking sample_flags appears to be difficult so current code won't
work on v6.2 kernel.  That's unfortunate but I don't know what's the
correct way to handle it.

For now, let's skip v6.2 kernels explicitly (if failed) in the test.

perf tests trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh: Accept quotes surrounding the filename

2023-08-15T19:41:48+00:00

With augmented_raw_syscalls transformed into a BPF skel made the output have a "
around the filenames, which is not what the old perf probe vfs_getname
method of obtaining filenames did, so accept the augmented way, with the
quotes.

At this point probably removing all the logic for the vfs_getname method
is in order, will do it at some point.

For now lets accept with/without quotes and make that test pass.
