perf test: Skip wp modify test on old kernels

2022-09-21T19:07:32+00:00

It uses PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl.	 The kernel would return
ENOTTY if it's not supported.  Update the skip reason in that case.

Committer notes:

On s/390 the args aren't used, so need to be marked __maybe_unused.

perf test: Stat test for repeat with a weak group

2022-08-27T14:55:17+00:00

Breaking a weak group requires multiple passes of an evlist, with
multiple runs this can introduce bugs ultimately leading to
segfaults. Add a test to cover this.

perf tools: Support reading PERF_FORMAT_LOST

2022-08-19T18:56:56+00:00

The recent kernel added lost count can be read from either read(2) or
ring buffer data with PERF_SAMPLE_READ.  As it's a variable length data
we need to access it according to the format info.

But for perf tools use cases, PERF_FORMAT_ID is always set.  So we can
only check PERF_FORMAT_LOST bit to determine the data format.

Add sample_read_value_size() and next_sample_read_value() helpers to
make it a bit easier to access.  Use them in all places where it reads
the struct sample_read_value.

perf cpumap: Fix alignment for masks in event encoding

2022-08-19T18:30:28+00:00

A mask encoding of a cpu map is laid out as:

  u16 nr
  u16 long_size
  unsigned long mask[];

However, the mask may be 8-byte aligned meaning there is a 4-byte pad
after long_size. This means 32-bit and 64-bit builds see the mask as
being at different offsets. On top of this the structure is in the byte
data[] encoded as:

  u16 type
  char data[]

This means the mask's struct isn't the required 4 or 8 byte aligned, but
is offset by 2. Consequently the long reads and writes are causing
undefined behavior as the alignment is broken.

Fix the mask struct by creating explicit 32 and 64-bit variants, use a
union to avoid data[] and casts; the struct must be packed so the
layout matches the existing perf.data layout. Taking an address of a
member of a packed struct breaks alignment so pass the packed
perf_record_cpu_map_data to functions, so they can access variables with
the right alignment.

As the 64-bit version has 4 bytes of padding, optimizing writing to only
write the 32-bit version.

Committer notes:

Disable warnings about 'packed' that break the build in some arches like
riscv64, but just around that specific struct.

perf test: Refactor shell tests allowing subdirs

2022-08-13T18:13:20+00:00

This is a prelude to adding more tests to shell tests and in order to
support putting those tests into subdirectories, I need to change the
test code that scans/finds and runs them.

To support subdirs I have to recurse so it's time to refactor the code
to allow this and centralize the shell script finding into one location
and only one single scan that builds a list of all the found tests in
memory instead of it being duplicated in 3 places.

This code also optimizes things like knowing the max width of desciption
strings (as we can do that while we scan instead of a whole new pass of
opening files).

It also more cleanly filters scripts to see only *.sh files thus
skipping random other files in directories like *~ backup files, other
random junk/data files that may appear and the scripts must be
executable to make the cut (this ensures the script lib dir is not seen
as scripts to run).

This avoids perf test running previous older versions of test scripts
that are editor backup files as well as skipping perf.data files that
may appear and so on.

perf pmu-events: Don't assume pmu_event is an array

2022-08-13T18:01:31+00:00

The current code assumes that a struct pmu_event can be iterated over
forward until a NULL pmu_event is encountered.

This makes it difficult to refactor pmu_event.

Add a loop function taking a callback function that's passed the struct
pmu_event.

This way the pmu_event is only needed for one element and not an entire
array.

Switch existing code iterating over the pmu_event arrays to use the new
loop function pmu_events_table_for_each_event.

perf test: Use full metric resolution

2022-08-13T18:01:03+00:00

The simple metric resolution doesn't handle recursion properly, switch
to use the full resolution as with the parse-metric tests which also
increases coverage. Don't set the values for the metric backward as
failures to generate a result are ignored.
