perf test annotate: Use --percent-limit rather than head to reduce output

2025-06-30T16:12:55+00:00

The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter in commit 658a8805cb60 ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests") by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head` switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program should be using more. Add the missing objdump option for the pipe mode version of the objdump with a command test.

perf test: Add pipe output testing for annotate

2025-03-15T01:16:33+00:00

Parameterize the basic testing to generate directly a perf.data file or to generate/use one from pipe input or output. To simplify the refactor move some of the head/grep logic around. Use "-q" with grep to make the test output cleaner. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250311211635.541090-1-irogers@google.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf/test: Speed up test case perf annotate basic tests

2024-09-27T06:42:46+00:00

perf test 70 takes a long time. One culprit is the output of command perf annotate. Per default enabled are - demangle symbol names - interleave source code with assembly code. Disable demangle of symbols and abort the annotation after the first 250 lines. This speeds up the test case considerable, for example on s390: Output before: # time perf test 70 70: perf annotate basic tests : Ok ..... real 2m7.467s user 1m26.869s sys 0m34.086s # Output after: # time perf test 70 70: perf annotate basic tests : Ok real 0m3.341s user 0m1.606s sys 0m0.362s # Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter Reviewed-by: James Clark Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Vasily Gorbik Cc: Alexander Gordeev Cc: sumanthk@linux.ibm.com Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240917085706.249691-1-tmricht@linux.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests

2024-06-07T20:06:44+00:00

On some s390 linux machine (mostly older models) and with debug packages installed, the test case 'perf annotate basic tests' runs for some longer time. Speed up the test and save the output of command perf annotate in a temporary file. This is used to perform pattern matching via grep command. This saves on invocation of perf annotate which runs for some time.
