perf test: Skip failing 'perf test aslr' test case
The test case 'perf test aslr' fails on s390. The root cause of the
failure is subtest test_callchain_aslr. This test invokes command
# ./perf record -g -e task-clock:u -o /tmp/perf-test-aslr \
-- perf test -w noploop 3
to generate a call stack using event task-clock:u. On s390 this defaults
to '--call-graph dwarf' whereas on x86_64 this defaults to framepointer
(fp) format. The command
# ./perf inject --aslr -i /tmp/perf-test-aslr
now scans all SAMPLE entries recorded in the perf.data file to convert
possible addresses. This is done in aslr_tool__process_sample() looking
at sample_type bits PERF_SAMPLE_IP, PERF_SAMPLE_TID,
PERF_SAMPLE_TIME, PERF_SAMPLE_PERIOD, PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN,
PERF_SAMPLE_REGS_USER and PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER.
On s390 the samples do not contain FP entries
of type PERF_SAMPLE_CALLCHAIN (the bit is set in sample_type, but the
number of FP entries is 0).
The processing enters the PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER portion where the
data is copied to the newly constructed sample and then aborted with
this warning:
/* TODO: can this be less conservative? */
pr_debug("Dropping stack user sample as possible ASLR leak\n");
With command line option '--call-graph dwarf' the new output file
does not contain any samples at all. This leads to a missing $new_addr
value in the shell script and a failure.
Fix this and skip this subtest. Emit a hint that this subtest is
currently unsupported on all platform when option --call-graph dwarf
is selected.
Since one subtest is skipped, the complete test is reported as
skipped.
