perf tests attr: Add missing topdown metrics events

2021-10-05T17:55:38+00:00

The Topdown metrics events were added as 'perf stat' default events
since commit 42641d6f4d15e6db ("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as
default events").

However, the perf attr tests were not updated
accordingly.

The perf attr test fails on the platform which supports Topdown metrics.

  # perf test 17

    17: Setup struct perf_event_attr        :FAILED!

Add Topdown metrics events into perf attr test cases. Make them optional
since they are only available on newer platforms.

perf tests: Fix flaky test 'Object code reading'

2021-09-27T12:32:28+00:00

This test occasionally fails on aarch64 when a sample is taken in
free@plt and it fails with "Bytes read differ from those read by
objdump".

This is because that symbol is near a section boundary in the elf file.
Despite the -z option to always output zeros, objdump uses
bfd_map_over_sections() to iterate through the elf file so it doesn't
see outside of the sections where these zeros are and can't print them.

For example this boundary proceeds free@plt in libc with a gap of 48
bytes between .plt and .text:

  objdump -d -z --start-address=0x23cc8 --stop-address=0x23d08 libc-2.30.so

  libc-2.30.so:     file format elf64-littleaarch64

  Disassembly of section .plt:

  0000000000023cc8 <*ABS*+0x7fd00@plt+0x8>:
     23cc8:	91018210 	add	x16, x16, #0x60
     23ccc:	d61f0220 	br	x17

  Disassembly of section .text:

  0000000000023d00 :
     23d00:	a9bf7bfd 	stp	x29, x30, [sp, #-16]!
     23d04:	910003fd 	mov	x29, sp

Taking a sample in free@plt is very rare because it is so small, but the
test can be forced to fail almost every time on any platform by linking
the test with a shared library that has a single empty function and
calling it in a loop.

The fix is to zero the buffers so that when there is a jump in the
addresses output by objdump, zeros are already filled in between.

perf test: Fix DWARF unwind for optimized builds.

2021-09-27T12:32:28+00:00

To ensure the stack frames are on the stack tail calls optimizations
need to be inhibited. If your compiler supports an attribute use it,
otherwise use an asm volatile barrier.

The barrier fix was suggested here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201028081123.GT2628@hirez.programming.kicks-ass.net/
Tested with an optimized clang build and by forcing the asm barrier
route with an optimized clang build.

A GCC bug tracking a proper disable_tail_calls is:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97831

Fixes: 9ae1e990f1ab ("perf tools: Remove broken __no_tail_call
       attribute")

v2. is a rebase. The original fix patch generated quite a lot of
    discussion over the right place for the fix:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201114000803.909530-1-irogers@google.com/
    The patch reflects my preference of it being near the use, so that
    future code cleanups don't break this somewhat special usage.

When the expected sample count in the condition changed, the message
needs to be changed too, otherwise we'll get:

tools: rename bitmap_alloc() to bitmap_zalloc()

2021-09-08T18:50:27+00:00

Rename bitmap_alloc() to bitmap_zalloc() in tools to follow the bitmap API
in the kernel.

No functional changes intended.

perf tests: Add test for PMU aliases

2021-09-03T11:38:49+00:00

A perf uncore PMU may have two PMU names, a real name and an alias.

Add one test case to verify that the real and alias names have the same
effect.

Iterate sysfs to get one event which has an alias and create an evlist
by adding two evsels. Evsel1 is created by event and evsel2 is created
by alias.

Test asserts:

  evsel1->core.attr.type == evsel2->core.attr.type
  evsel1->core.attr.config == evsel2->core.attr.config

perf tools: Fix LLVM test failure when running in verbose mode

2021-08-31T18:17:45+00:00

A CI system might want to run all tests in verbose mode so that there is
enough information to diagnose issues. This LLVM test is the only test
that uses "-v" to signify to not skip the test if the preconditions
aren't met (LLVM isn't installed). This means that running the test in
verbose mode without LLVM installed causes a test failure.

For consistency with the other tests, remove this verbose/skip check. An
alternate solution would be to make _all_ tests not skip when run in
verbose mode, but I don't think that would be intuitive.

Also change the search_program() call to search_program_and_warn().
Previously the hint about installing LLVM was only printed by the actual
test because this check was skipped in verbose mode. To maintain the old
behaviour, the precondition check must also print the full warning.

Previous output:

  $ ./perf test llvm
  40: LLVM search and compile                                     :
  40.1: Basic BPF llvm compile                                    : Skip

  $ ./perf test -v llvm

  Hint:	Try to install latest clang/llvm to support BPF. Check your $PATH
  ...
  test child finished with -1
  ---- end ----
  LLVM search and compile subtest 1: FAILED!

New output (non verbose mode is identical, verbose changes from fail to
skip):

  40: LLVM search and compile                                     :

perf tests: Fix *probe_vfs_getname.sh test failures

2021-08-30T13:06:43+00:00

The commit 4d6101f5fd5d9960 ("perf probe: Clarify error message about
not finding kernel modules debuginfo") changed the error message "Failed
to find the path for kernel" to "Failed to find the path for the
kernel".

Update the regex so that the tests still skip rather than fail when
kernel debug symbols aren't present.

perf tests dlfilter: Free desc and long_desc in check_filter_desc

2021-08-20T14:16:27+00:00

In dlfilter-test.c, check_filter_desc() calls get_filter_desc() which
allocates 'desc' and 'long_desc'.  However, these variables are never
deallocated.

This patch adds the missing free() calls.
