perf tests attr: Add missing topdown metrics events

2021-10-05T17:55:38+00:00

The Topdown metrics events were added as 'perf stat' default events since commit 42641d6f4d15e6db ("perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events"). However, the perf attr tests were not updated accordingly. The perf attr test fails on the platform which supports Topdown metrics. # perf test 17 17: Setup struct perf_event_attr :FAILED! Add Topdown metrics events into perf attr test cases. Make them optional since they are only available on newer platforms.

perf test: Test 17 fails with make LIBPFM4=1 on s390 z/VM

2021-06-01T13:57:39+00:00

This test case fails on s390 virtual machine z/VM which has no PMU support when the perf tool is built with LIBPFM4=1. Using make LIBPFM4=1 builds the perf tool with support for libpfm event notation. The command line flag --pfm-events is valid: # ./perf record --pfm-events cycles -- true [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.001 MB perf.data (2 samples) ] # However the command 'perf test -Fv 17' fails on s390 z/VM virtual machine with LIBPFM4=1: # perf test -Fv 17 17: Setup struct perf_event_attr : --- start --- ..... running './tests/attr/test-record-group2' unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-group2' running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' expected exclude_hv=0, got 1 FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' - match failure ---- end ---- Setup struct perf_event_attr: FAILED! When --pfm-event system is not supported, the test returns unsupported and continues. Here is an example using a virtual machine on x86 and Fedora 34: [root@f33 perf]# perf test -Fv 17 17: Setup struct perf_event_attr : --- start --- ..... running './tests/attr/test-record-group2' unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-group2' running './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period' .... The issue is file ./tests/attr/test-record-pfm-period which requires perf event attribute member exclude_hv to be zero. This is not the case on s390 where the value of exclude_hv is one when executing on a z/VM virtual machine without PMU hardware support. Fix this by allowing value exlucde_hv to be zero or one. Output before: # /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \ test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match matching [event:base-record] match: [event:base-record] matches [] FAILED './tests/attr//test-record-pfm-period' - match failure # Output after: # /usr/bin/python ./tests/attr.py -d ./tests/attr/ -t \ test-record-pfm-period -p ./perf -vvv 2>&1| fgrep match matching [event:base-record] match: [event:base-record] matches ['event-1-0-6', 'event-1-0-5'] matched Background: Using libpfm library ends up in this function call sequence pfm_get_perf_event_encoding() +-- pfm_get_os_event_encoding() +-- pfmlib_perf_event_encode() is called when no hardware specific PMU unit can be detected as in the s390 z/VM virtual machine case. This uses the "perf_events generic PMU" data structure which sets exclude_hv to 1 per default. Using this PMU that test case always fails. That is the reason why exclude_hv attribute setting varies. Version 2: As suggested by Ian Rogers make perf_event_attribute member exclude_hv more robust and accept value 0 or 1 to handle more test cases which might fail on s390 virtual machine z/VM.

perf record: Add dummy event during system wide synthesis

2020-05-28T13:03:25+00:00

During the processing of /proc during event synthesis new processes may start. Add a dummy event if /proc is to be processed, to capture mmaps for starting processes. This reuses the existing logic for initial-delay. v3 fixes the attr test of test-record-C0 v2 fixes the dummy event configuration and a branch stack issue.

perf tools: Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions

2019-11-21T13:54:20+00:00

Add kernel AUX area sampling definitions, which brings perf_event.h into line with the kernel version. New sample type PERF_SAMPLE_AUX requests a sample of the AUX area buffer. New perf_event_attr member 'aux_sample_size' specifies the desired size of the sample. Also add support for parsing samples containing AUX area data i.e. PERF_SAMPLE_AUX. Committer notes: I squashed the first two patches in this series to avoid breaking automatic bisection, i.e. after applying only the original first patch in this series we would have: # perf test -v parsing 26: Sample parsing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 17018 sample format has changed, some new PERF_SAMPLE_ bit was introduced - test needs updating test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Sample parsing: FAILED! # With the two paches combined: # perf test parsing 26: Sample parsing : Ok # Signed-off-by: Adrian Hunter Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191115124225.5247-3-adrian.hunter@intel.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Save bpf_prog_info and BTF of new BPF programs

2019-03-21T14:27:04+00:00

To fully annotate BPF programs with source code mapping, 4 different information are needed: 1) PERF_RECORD_KSYMBOL 2) PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT 3) bpf_prog_info 4) btf This patch handles 3) and 4) for BPF programs loaded after 'perf record|top'. For timely process of these information, a dedicated event is added to the side band evlist. When PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT is received via the side band event, the polling thread gathers 3) and 4) vis sys_bpf and store them in perf_env. This information is saved to perf.data at the end of 'perf record'. Committer testing: The 'wakeup_watermark' member in 'struct perf_event_attr' is inside a unnamed union, so can't be used in a struct designated initialization with older gccs, get it out of that, isolating as 'attr.wakeup_watermark = 1;' to work with all gcc versions. We also need to add '--no-bpf-event' to the 'perf record' perf_event_attr tests in 'perf test', as the way that that test goes is to intercept the events being setup and looking if they match the fields described in the control files, since now it finds first the side band event used to catch the PERF_RECORD_BPF_EVENT, they all fail. With these issues fixed: Same scenario as for testing BPF programs loaded before 'perf record' or 'perf top' starts, only start the BPF programs after 'perf record|top', so that its information get collected by the sideband threads, the rest works as for the programs loaded before start monitoring. Add missing 'inline' to the bpf_event__add_sb_event() when HAVE_LIBBPF_SUPPORT is not defined, fixing the build in systems without binutils devel files installed.
