perf tests offcpu: Adjust test case perf record offcpu profiling tests for s390

2023-11-09T16:49:33+00:00

On s390 using linux-next the test case: 87: perf record offcpu profiling tests fails. The root cause is this command # ./perf record --off-cpu -e dummy -- ./perf bench sched messaging -l 10 # Running 'sched/messaging' benchmark: # 20 sender and receiver processes per group # 10 groups == 400 processes run Total time: 0.231 [sec] [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ] [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.077 MB perf.data (401 samples) ] # It does not generate 800+ sample entries, on s390 usually around 40[1-9], sometimes a few more, but never more than 450. The higher the number of CPUs the lower the number of samples. Looking at function chain: bench_sched_messaging() +--> group() the senders and receiver threads are created. The senders and receivers call function ready() which writes one bytes and wait for a reply using poll system() call. As context switches are counted, the function ready() will trigger a context switch when no input data is available after the write system call. The write system call does not trigger context switches when the data size is small. And writing 1000 bytes (10 iterations with 100 bytes) is not much and certainly won't block. The 400+ context switch on s390 occur when the some receiver/sender threads call ready() and wait for the response from function bench_sched_messaging() being kicked off. Lower the number of expected context switches to 400 to succeed on s390.

perf test: Detect off-cpu support from build options

Revert "perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL"

2023-05-06T21:07:37+00:00

This reverts commit a980755beb5aca9002e1c95ba519b83a44242b5b. We need to better polish building with BPF skels, so revert back to making it an experimental feature that has to be explicitely enabled using BUILD_BPF_SKEL=1. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf build: Make BUILD_BPF_SKEL default, rename to NO_BPF_SKEL

2023-03-14T11:29:46+00:00

BPF skeleton support is now key to a number of perf features. Rather than making it so that BPF support must be enabled for the build, make this the default and error if the build lacks a clang and libbpf that are sufficient. To avoid the error and build without BPF skeletons the NO_BPF_SKEL=1 flag can be used. Add a build-options flag to 'perf version' to enable detection of the BPF skeleton support and use this in the offcpu shell test.

perf tools: Use "grep -E" instead of "egrep"

2022-12-14T18:28:19+00:00

The latest version of grep claims the egrep is now obsolete so the build now contains warnings that look like: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E fix this up by moving the related file to use "grep -E" instead. sed -i "s/egrep/grep -E/g" `grep egrep -rwl tools/perf` Here are the steps to install the latest grep: wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grep/grep-3.8.tar.gz tar xf grep-3.8.tar.gz cd grep-3.8 && ./configure && make sudo make install export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH Signed-off-by: Tiezhu Yang Acked-by: Ian Rogers Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1668762999-9297-1-git-send-email-yangtiezhu@loongson.cn Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
