perf bench: Fix perf bench syscall loop count

2025-03-05T17:19:23+00:00

Command 'perf bench syscall fork -l 100000' offers option -l to run for a specified number of iterations. However this option is not always observed. The number is silently limited to 10000 iterations as can be seen: Output before: # perf bench syscall fork -l 100000 # Running 'syscall/fork' benchmark: # Executed 10,000 fork() calls Total time: 23.388 [sec] 2338.809800 usecs/op 427 ops/sec # When explicitly specified with option -l or --loops, also observe higher number of iterations: Output after: # perf bench syscall fork -l 100000 # Running 'syscall/fork' benchmark: # Executed 100,000 fork() calls Total time: 716.982 [sec] 7169.829510 usecs/op 139 ops/sec # This patch fixes the issue for basic execve fork and getpgid.

perf bench syscall: Add fork syscall benchmark

2023-04-04T12:39:55+00:00

This is a follow up patch for the execve bench which is actually fork + execve, it makes sense to add the fork syscall benchmark to compare the execve part precisely. Some archs have no __NR_fork definition which is used only as a check condition to call test_fork(), let us just define it as -1 to avoid build error.

perf bench syscall: Introduce bench_syscall_common()

2023-02-02T19:32:19+00:00

In the current code, there is only a basic syscall benchmark via getppid, this is not enough. Introduce bench_syscall_common() so that we can add more syscalls to benchmark. This is preparation for later patch, no functionality change.

perf tools: Cast (struct timeval).tv_sec when printing

2021-03-06T19:54:24+00:00

The musl-libc [1] defines (struct timeval).tv_sec as a 'long long' for arm and other architectures. The default build having a '-Wformat' flag, not casting the field when printing prevents from building perf. This patch casts the (struct timeval).tv_sec fields to the expected format.

perf bench: Add basic syscall benchmark

2020-07-28T11:50:48+00:00

The usefulness of having a standard way of testing syscall performance has come up from time to time[0]. Furthermore, some of our testing machinery (such as 'mmtests') already makes use of a simplified version of the microbenchmark. This patch mainly takes the same idea to measure syscall throughput compatible with 'perf-bench' via getppid(2), yet without any of the additional template stuff from Ingo's version (based on numa.c). The code is identical to what mmtests uses. [0] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20160201074156.GA27156@gmail.com/ Committer notes: Add mising stdlib.h and unistd.h to get the prototypes for exit() and getppid().
