perf test workload: Add code_with_type test workload

2026-02-08T22:16:24+00:00

The purpose of the workload is to gather samples of rust runtime. To achieve that it has a dummy rust library linked with it. Per recommendations for such scenarios [1], the rust library is statically linked. An example: $ perf record perf test -w code_with_type [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.160 MB perf.data (4074 samples) ] $ perf report --stdio --dso perf -s srcfile,srcline 45.16% ub_checks.rs ub_checks.rs:72 6.72% code_with_type.rs code_with_type.rs:15 6.64% range.rs range.rs:767 4.26% code_with_type.rs code_with_type.rs:21 4.23% range.rs range.rs:0 3.99% code_with_type.rs code_with_type.rs:16 [...] [1]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/linkage.html#mixed-rust-and-foreign-codebases Signed-off-by: Dmitrii Dolgov <9erthalion6@gmail.com> Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ian Rogers Cc: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test workload: Add inlineloop test workload

2026-01-12T19:11:15+00:00

The purpose of this workload is to gather samples in an inlined function. This can be used to test whether inlined addr2line works correctly. Committer testing: $ perf record perf test -w inlineloop 1 [ perf record: Woken up 2 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.161 MB perf.data (4005 samples) ] $ perf report --stdio --dso perf -s srcfile,srcline # # Total Lost Samples: 0 # # Samples: 4K of event 'cpu/cycles/Pu' # Event count (approx.): 5535180842 # # Overhead Source File Source:Line # ........ ............ ............... # 99.04% inlineloop.c inlineloop.c:21 0.46% inlineloop.c inlineloop.c:20 # $ Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Adrian Hunter Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Howard Chu Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephen Brennan Cc: Tony Jones Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test: Add kallsyms split test

2025-12-03T05:59:15+00:00

Create a fake root directory for /proc/{version,modules,kallsyms} in /tmp for testing. The kallsyms has a bad symbol in the module and it causes the main map splitted. The test ensures it only has two maps - kernel and the module and it finds the initial map after the module without creating the split maps like [kernel].0 and so on. $ perf test -vv "split kallsyms" 69: split kallsyms: --- start --- test child forked, pid 1016196 try to create fake root directory create kernel maps from the fake root directory maps__set_modules_path_dir: cannot open /tmp/perf-test.Zrv6Sy/lib/modules/X.Y.Z dir Problems setting modules path maps, continuing anyway...

perf test: Extend branch stack sampling test for Arm64 BRBE

2025-10-01T18:31:49+00:00

BRBE emits IRQ and ERET branches for branching and returning from trapped instructions. Add a test that loops on a trapped instruction (MRS - Read special register) for this. Extend the expected 'any_call' branches to include FAULT_DATA and FAULT_INST as these are emitted by BRBE.

perf test: In forked mode add check that fds aren't leaked

2025-07-03T02:11:13+00:00

When a test is forked no file descriptors should be open, however, parent ones may have been inherited - in particular those of the pipes of other forked child test processes. Add a loop to clean-up/close those file descriptors prior to running the test. At the end of the test assert that no additional file descriptors are present as this would indicate a file descriptor leak.

perf test: Add libsubcmd help tests

Add a set of tests for subcmd routines. Currently it fails the last one since there's a bug. It'll be fixed by the next commit. $ perf test subcmd 69: libsubcmd help tests : 69.1: Load subcmd names : Ok 69.2: Uniquify subcmd names : Ok 69.3: Exclude duplicate subcmd names : FAILED!

perf test: Check test suite description properly

2025-07-01T22:51:53+00:00

Currently perf test checks the given string with descriptions for both test suites and cases (subtests). But sometimes it's confusing since the subtests don't contain the important keyword. I think it's better to check the suite level and run the whole suite together if it matches description in the suite. Before: $ perf test hwmon (no output) After: $ perf test hwmon 10: Hwmon PMU : 10.1: Basic parsing test : Ok 10.2: Parsing without PMU name : Ok 10.3: Parsing with PMU name : Ok And keep the existing behavior when it only matches test description only. $ perf test "Equal cpu map" 39.5: Equal cpu map : Ok Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250701201027.1171561-1-namhyung@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf debug: Add function symbols to dump_stack

2025-06-25T17:59:19+00:00

Symbolize stack traces by creating a live machine. Add this functionality to dump_stack and switch dump_stack users to use it. Switch TUI to use it. Add stack traces to the child test function which can be useful to diagnose blocked code. Example output: ``` $ perf test -vv PERF_RECORD_ ... 7: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields: 7: PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : Running (1 active) ^C Signal (2) while running tests.
