perf cpumap: Add intersect function

2023-05-27T01:47:15+00:00

The merge function gives the union of two cpu maps. Add an intersect
function which is necessary, for example, when intersecting a PMUs
supported CPUs with user requested.

perf test: Add Symbols test

2023-01-22T21:09:56+00:00

Add a test to check function symbols do not overlap and are not zero
length.

The main motivation for the test is to make it easier to review changes
to PLT symbol synthesis i.e. changes to dso__synthesize_plt_symbols().

By default the test uses the perf executable as a test DSO, but a
specific DSO can be specified via a new perf test option "--dso".

The test is useful in the following ways:

 - Any DSO can be tested, even ones that do not run on the current
 architecture. For example, using cross-compiled DSOs to see how
 well perf handles different architectures.

 - With verbose > 1 (e.g. -vv), all the symbols are printed, which
 makes it easier to see issues.

 - perf removes duplicate symbols and expands zero-length symbols
 to reach the next symbol, however that is done before adding
 synthesized symbols, so the test is checking those also.

Example:

  $ perf test -v Symbols
   74: Symbols                                                         :
  --- start ---
  test child forked, pid 154918
  Testing /home/user/bin/perf
  Overlapping symbols:
   7d000-7f3a0 g _init
   7d030-7d040 g __printf_chk@plt
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  Symbols: FAILED!

Note the test fails because perf expands the _init symbol over the PLT
because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then
dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.

perf test: Add event group test for events in multiple PMUs

2022-12-14T14:16:12+00:00

Multiple events in a group can belong to one or more PMUs, however
there are some limitations.

One of the limitations is that perf doesn't allow creating a group of
events from different hw PMUs.

Write a simple test to create various combinations of hw, sw and uncore
PMU events and verify group creation succeeds or fails as expected.

perf test: Add 'datasym' test workload

2022-11-23T13:29:21+00:00

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.

perf test: Add 'brstack' test workload

2022-11-23T13:28:01+00:00

The brstack is to run different kinds of branches repeatedly.  This is
necessary for brstack test case to verify if it has correct branch info.

  $ perf test -w brstack

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

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

perf test: Add 'sqrtloop' test workload

2022-11-23T13:26:27+00:00

The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling
sqrt() with rand().  This is needed for ARM SPE fork test.

  $ perf test -w sqrtloop

It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in
seconds (default: 1).

Committer notes:

Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where
the compiler complains it isn't being used.

And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make
this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination.

Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible
with it.

perf test: Add 'leafloop' test workload

2022-11-23T13:24:59+00:00

The leafloop workload is to run an infinite loop in the test_leaf
function.  This is needed for the ARM fp callgraph test to verify if it
gets the correct callchains.

  $ perf test -w leafloop

Committer notes:

Add a:

  -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE

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

perf test: Add 'thloop' test workload

2022-11-20T14:32:23+00:00

The thloop is similar to noploop but runs in two threads.  This is
needed to verify perf record --per-thread to handle multi-threaded
programs properly.

  $ perf test -w thloop

It also takes an optional argument to specify runtime in seconds
(default: 1).

perf test: Add -w/--workload option

2022-11-20T14:32:23+00:00

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing.
This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload
as an example.

  $ perf test -w noploop

The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default.
It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.
