perf test shell: Add test using probe:vfs_getname and verifying results
This test uses the 'perf test shell' library to add probe:vfs_getname to the system then use it with 'perf record' using 'touch' to write to a temp file, then checks that that was captured by the vfs_getname probe in the generated perf.data file, with the temp file name as the pathname argument. Using it: # perf test "Use vfs_getname" 60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: Ok # perf test -v "Use vfs_getname" 60: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: --- start --- test child forked, pid 16414 Added new event: probe:vfs_getname (on getname_flags:72 with pathname=result->name:string) You can now use it in all perf tools, such as: perf record -e probe:vfs_getname -aR sleep 1 Recording open file: [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.022 MB /tmp/vaca.perf.data.QZsn7 (13 samples) ] Looking at perf.data file for vfs_getname records for the file we touched: touch 16421 [002] 1255152.879561: probe:vfs_getname: (ffffffffa626e608) pathname="/tmp/vaca.l10SL" test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames: Ok # Cc: Adrian Hunter <adrian.hunter@intel.com> Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@gmail.com> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Cc: Michael Petlan <mpetlan@redhat.com> Cc: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Cc: Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Wang Nan <wangnan0@huawei.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-t555fnhbcbxnukltk23dqxur@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
