linux.git/tools/perf/tests/workloads/jitdump.c, branch master Linux kernel source tree perf test: Remove /usr/bin/cc dependency from Intel PT shell test 2026-06-04T14:41:46+00:00 Ian Rogers irogers@google.com 2026-06-02T17:41:27+00:00 a77ecea7ced2fef7cc0a8ad0323542f781ad9788 In test_intel_pt.sh, the test script compiled two external C programs at runtime using /usr/bin/cc (a thread loop workload and a JIT self- modifying workload). Relying on external C compilers inside shell tests frequently causes failures in continuous integration environments. Create a built-in 'jitdump' workload and switch test_intel_pt.sh to use 'perf test -w thloop' and 'perf test -w jitdump'. Also add multi- architecture compatibility without external C compiler dependencies, the workload instruction arrays dynamically encode CHK_BYTE into opcodes across x86, ARM32, ARM64, RISC-V, PowerPC, MIPS, LoongArch, and s390x. Some minor include fixes for util/jitdump.h.

In test_intel_pt.sh, the test script compiled two external C programs at

frequently causes failures in continuous integration environments.

Create a built-in 'jitdump' workload and switch test_intel_pt.sh to use
