perf test: Add perf_event_attr tests for the arm_spe event

2022-03-05T19:00:12+00:00

Adds a couple of perf_event_attr tests for the fix introduced in [1]. The tests check that the correct sample_period value is set in the struct perf_event_attr of the arm_spe events.

perf test: Fix arm64 perf_event_attr tests wrt --call-graph initialization

2022-02-16T16:51:47+00:00

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
