perf tests: Make leader sampling test work without branch event

2024-11-16T19:30:39+00:00

Arm a57 only has speculative branch events so this test fails there. The test doesn't depend on branch instructions so change it to instructions which is pretty much guaranteed to be everywhere. The test_branch_counter() test above already tests for the existence of the branches event and skips if its not present.

perf test: Tag parallel failing shell tests with "(exclusive)"

Some shell tests compete for resources and so can't run with other tests, tag such tests. The "(exclusive)" stems from shared/exclusive to describe how the tests run as if holding a lock.

perf test: Speed up some tests using perf list

2024-10-17T16:55:58+00:00

On my system, perf list is very slow to print the whole events. I think there's a performance issue in SDT and uprobes event listing. I noticed this issue while running perf test on x86 but it takes long to check some CoreSight event which should be skipped quickly. Anyway, some test uses perf list to check whether the required event is available before running the test. The perf list command can take an argument to specify event class or (glob) pattern. But glob pattern is only to suppress output for unmatched ones after checking all events. In this case, specifying event class is better to reduce the number of events it checks and to avoid buggy subsystems entirely. No functional changes intended.

perf test record.sh: Raise limit of open file descriptors

2024-08-14T15:55:48+00:00

Subtest for system-wide record with '--threads=cpu' option fails due to a limit of open file descriptors on systems with 128 or more CPUs as the default limit is set to 1024. The number of open file descriptors should be slightly above nmb_events*nmb_cpus + nmb_cpus(for perf.data.n) + 4*nmb_cpus(for pipes), which equals 8*nmb_cpus. Therefore, temporarily raise the limit to 16*nmb_cpus for the test. Committer notes: Instead of disabling ShellCheck warnings all the uses of 'uname -n', i.e. those: In tests/shell/record.sh line 35: default_fd_limit=$(ulimit -Sn) ^-^ SC3045 (warning): In POSIX sh, ulimit -S is undefined. We can just switch from using '/bin/sh' to '/bin/bash' for this test, as bash _has_ 'ulimit -n', so ShellCheck will not emit that warning. There are dozens of 'perf test' shell tests that do just that, '/bin/bash' is a reasonable expectation for those tests.

perf tests: Skip record test if test_loop symbol is missing

2023-11-27T18:40:16+00:00

perf record test depends on finding symbol test_loop in perf, and fails if perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. In that case, skip the test instead. Example: Note, building with perl support adds option -Wl,-E which causes the linker to add all (global) symbols to the dynamic symbol table. So the test_loop symbol, being global, does not get stripped unless NO_LIBPERL=1 Before: $ make NO_LIBPERL=1 -C tools/perf >/dev/null 2>&1 $ strip tools/perf/perf $ tools/perf/perf buildid-cache -p `realpath tools/perf/perf` $ tools/perf/perf test -v 'record tests' 91: perf record tests : --- start --- test child forked, pid 118750 Basic --per-thread mode test Per-thread record [Failed missing output] Register capture test Register capture test [Success] Basic --system-wide mode test System-wide record [Skipped not supported] Basic target workload test Workload record [Failed missing output] test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- perf record tests: FAILED!
