perf unwind: Don't show unwind error messages when augmenting frame pointer stack

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

Commit Fixes: b9f6fbb3b2c29736 ("perf arm64: Inject missing frames when
using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'") intended to add a 'best effort'
DWARF unwind that improved the frame pointer stack in most scenarios.

It's expected that the unwind will fail sometimes, but this shouldn't be
reported as an error. It only works when the return address can be
determined from the contents of the link register alone.

Fix the error shown when the unwinder requires extra registers by adding
a new flag that suppresses error messages. This flag is not set in the
normal --call-graph=dwarf unwind mode so that behavior is not changed.

perf test tsc: Fix error message when not supported

2022-04-09T15:34:29+00:00

By default `perf test tsc` does not return the error message when the
child process detected kernel does not support it. Instead, the child
process prints an error message to stderr, unfortunately stderr is
redirected to /dev/null when verbose <= 0.

This patch does:

- return TEST_SKIP to the parent process instead of TEST_OK when
  perf_read_tsc_conversion() is not supported.

- Add a new subtest of testing if TSC is supported on current
  architecture by moving exist code to a separate function.
  It avoids two places in test__perf_time_to_tsc() that return
  TEST_SKIP by doing this.

- Extend the test suite definition to contain above two subtests.
  Current test_suite and test_case structs do not support printing skip
  reason when the number of subtest less than 1. To print skip reason, it
  is necessary to extend current test suite definition.

       Event Trace is a capability that exposes details about the

       corresponding software event handler completes execution. These
       include:

        o Interrupts, including NMI and SMI, including the interrupt
          vector when defined.

        o Faults, exceptions including the fault vector.

           - Page faults additionally include the page fault address,
             when in context.

        o Event handler returns, including IRET and RSM.

        o VM exits and VM entries.¹

perf test arm64: Test unwinding using fame-pointer (fp) mode

2022-03-21T21:05:23+00:00

Add a shell script to check that the call-graphs generated using frame
pointers (--call-graph fp) are complete and not missing leaf functions:

  | $ perf test 88 -v
  |  88: Check Arm64 callgraphs are complete in fp mode                  :
  | --- start ---
  | test child forked, pid 8734
  |  + Compiling test program (/tmp/test_program.Cz3yL)...
  |  + Recording (PID=8749)...
  |  + Stopping perf-record...
  | test_program.Cz
  |                  728 leaf
  |                  753 parent
  |                  76c main
  | test child finished with 0
  | ---- end ----
  | Check Arm SPE callgraphs are complete in fp mode: Ok

It's supposed to work with both unwinders:

  | $ make                # for libunwind (default)
  | $ make NO_LIBUNWIND=1 # for libdw

Tester notes:

Ran it on N1SDP and it passes, and it fails if b9f6fbb3b2c29736 ("perf
arm64: Inject missing frames when using 'perf record --call-graph=fp'")
isn't applied.

perf test: Skip failing sigtrap test for arm+aarch64

2022-02-18T12:54:50+00:00

Skip the Sigtrap test for arm + arm64, same as was done for s390 in
commit a840974e96fd ("perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390"). For
this, reuse BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED - meaning that the arch can use BP to
generate signals - instead of BP_ACCOUNT_IS_SUPPORTED, which is
appropriate.

As described by Will at [0], in the test we get stuck in a loop of
handling the HW breakpoint exception and never making progress. GDB
handles this by stepping over the faulting instruction, but with perf
the kernel is expected to handle the step (which it doesn't for arm).

Dmitry made an attempt to get this work, also mentioned in the same
thread as [0], which was appreciated. But the best thing to do is skip
the test for now.
