perf test: Disable breakpoint signal tests for powerpc

2017-06-05T17:18:01+00:00

The following tests are failing on powerpc:

  # perf test break
  18: Breakpoint overflow signal handler  : FAILED!
  19: Breakpoint overflow sampling        : FAILED!

The powerpc kenel so far does not have support to even create
instruction breakpoints using the perf event interface, so those tests
fail early in the config phase.

I added a '->is_supported()' callback to test struct to be able to
disable specific tests. It seems better than putting ifdefs directly to
the test array.

perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

2017-03-23T14:39:27+00:00

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation
expressions. The parser is implemented using bison.

This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the
event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language"

v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_
    Support multiple free variables for parser

Committer note:

The v2 patch had:

  %define api.pure full

In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant
parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop
building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi
realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using:

  %pure-parser

Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill.

I added:

  CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w

To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o,
another parser.

perf tools: Add unit_number__scnprintf function

2017-01-11T19:48:01+00:00

Add unit_number__scnprintf function to display size units and use it in
-m option info message.

Before:
  $ perf record -m 10M ls
  rounding mmap pages size to 16777216 bytes (4096 pages)
  ...

After:
  $ perf record -m 10M ls
  rounding mmap pages size to 16M (4096 pages)

perf thread_map: Add thread_map__remove function

2016-12-15T19:25:45+00:00

perf clang: Add builtin clang support ant test case

2016-12-05T18:51:43+00:00

Add basic clang support in clang.cpp and test__clang() testcase. The
first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR.

tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in
utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test
subsystem.

Test result:

   $ perf test -v clang
   51: builtin clang support                               :
   51.1: Test builtin clang compile C source to IR              :
   --- start ---
   test child forked, pid 13215
   test child finished with 0
   ---- end ----
   Test builtin clang support subtest 0: Ok

Committer note:

Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting
the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.:

  make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin

Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above:

  # perf test clang
  51: builtin clang support                      : Skip (not compiled in)

perf tools: Introduce perf hooks

2016-11-29T15:13:27+00:00

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for
manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this
patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end.

To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into
'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report
an error to help debugging.

A test case for perf hook is introduced.

Test result:
  $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook
  50: Test perf hooks                                          :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 10311
  SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover.
  Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test'
  test child finished with 0
  ---- end ----
  Test perf hooks: Ok

perf test: Add a test case for SDT event

2016-07-14T02:09:10+00:00

Add a basic test case for SDT event support.  This test scans an SDT
event in perftools and check whether the SDT event is correctly stored
into the buildid cache.

Here is an example:
