perf test: test case 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 on z/vm

2024-01-04T21:44:53+00:00

perf test 17 'Setup struct perf_event_attr' fails on s390 z/VM guest,
using linux-next kernel.

Root cause is the fall-back from hardware counter cycles

   perf_event_attr:
    type                             0 (PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE)
    size                             136
    config                           0 (PERF_COUNT_HW_CPU_CYCLES)
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
    read_format                      ID|LOST

which returns -ENOENT on s390 z/VM guest. This causes the code to fall
back to software counter task-clock, as can be seen in the debug output:

  ------------------------------------------------------------
   perf_event_attr:
    type                             1 (PERF_TYPE_SOFTWARE)
    size                             136
    config                           0x1 (PERF_COUNT_SW_TASK_CLOCK) <-here
    { sample_period, sample_freq }   4000
    sample_type                      IP|TID|TIME|ADDR|PERIOD|DATA_SRC
    read_format                      ID|LOST

This succeeds on s390 z/VM guest.

This successful installation of the counter task-clock is not listed in
the expected results and the test case fails.

This is caused by commit eb2eac0c7b618033 ("perf evsel: Fallback to
"task-clock" when not system wide") which introduced fall back from
event 'cycles' to event 'task-clock'.

To fix this on s390 allow event number 0 (cycles) and event number 1
(task-clock) as expected result.

Output before:

  # ./perf test -Fv 17
  17: Setup struct perf_event_attr                                    :

  expected config=0, got 1

perf tests: Add perf script test

2024-01-04T21:29:17+00:00

Start a new set of shell tests for testing perf script. The initial
contribution is checking that some perf db-export functionality works
as reported in this regression by Ben Gainey :

perf tests: Use function to add missing maps lock

2023-12-19T00:35:01+00:00

Switch loop macro maps__for_each_entry to maps__for_each_map function
that takes a callback. The function holds the maps lock, which should
be held during iteration.

libperf cpumap: Replace usage of perf_cpu_map__new(NULL) with perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus()

2023-12-12T17:55:13+00:00

Passing NULL to perf_cpu_map__new() performs
perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus(), just directly call
perf_cpu_map__new_online_cpus() to be more intention revealing.

libperf cpumap: Rename perf_cpu_map__dummy_new() to perf_cpu_map__new_any_cpu()

2023-12-12T17:01:47+00:00

Rename perf_cpu_map__dummy_new() to perf_cpu_map__new_any_cpu() to
better indicate this is creating a CPU map for the perf_event_open "any"
CPU case.

perf test shell diff: Skip test if test_loop symbol is missing in the perf binary

2023-12-06T16:01:36+00:00

The diff test depends on finding the symbol test_loop in perf and will
fail if perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. In that
case, skip the test instead.

perf test: Add basic 'perf diff' test

There are some old bug reports on perf diff crashing:

https://rhaas.blogspot.com/2012/06/perf-good-bad-ugly.html

Happening across them I was prompted to add two very basic tests that
will give some 'perf diff' coverage.
