perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

2016-05-09T21:11:22+00:00

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer. Test result: # ~/perf test 'ring buffer' 45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one PERF_RECORD_COMM. The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of events. The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

perf hists: Move sort__need_collapse into struct perf_hpp_list

2016-05-06T00:03:58+00:00

Now we have sort dimensions private for struct hists, we need to make dimension booleans hists specific as well. Moving sort__need_collapse into struct perf_hpp_list. Adding hists__has macro to easily access this info perf struct hists object.

perf tests: Do not use sizeof on pointer type

2016-04-28T18:37:52+00:00

Using sizeof on a malloced pointer type will return the wordsize which can often cause one to allocate a buffer much smaller than it is needed. So, here do not use sizeof on pointer type. Note that this has no effect on runtime because 'dsos' is a pointer to a pointer. Problem found using Coccinelle.

perf tools: Set the maximum allowed stack from /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_stack

2016-04-27T13:29:07+00:00

There is an upper limit to what tooling considers a valid callchain, and it was tied to the hardcoded value in the kernel, PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH (127), now that this can be tuned via a sysctl, make it read it and use that as the upper limit, falling back to PERF_MAX_STACK_DEPTH for kernels where this sysctl isn't present.

perf tests: Replace assignment with comparison on assert check

2016-04-25T23:24:26+00:00

The current assert check is checking an assignment, which will always be true. Instead, the assert should be checking if scale is equal to 0.122 Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King Reviewed-by: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461419154-16918-1-git-send-email-colin.king@canonical.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test: Add missing verbose output explaining the reason for failure

2016-04-19T15:39:36+00:00

One of the branches leading to an error had no debug message emitted, fix it, the new lines are: # perf test -v kallsyms 0xffffffff81001000: diff name v: xen_hypercall_set_trap_table k: hypercall_page 0xffffffff810691f0: diff name v: try_to_free_pud_page k: try_to_free_pmd_page 0xffffffff8150bb20: diff name v: wakeup_expire_count_show.part.5 k: wakeup_active_count_show.part.7 0xffffffff816bc7f0: diff name v: phys_switch_id_show.part.11 k: phys_port_name_show.part.12 0xffffffff817bbb90: diff name v: __do_softirq k: __softirqentry_text_start This in turn exercises another bug, still under investigation, because those aliases _are_ in kallsyms, with the same name...

perf evsel: Do not use globals in config()

2016-04-12T01:18:20+00:00

Instead receive a callchain_param pointer to configure callchain aspects, not doing so if NULL is passed. This will allow fine grained control over which evsels in an evlist gets callchains enabled.
