perf test stat tests: Fix for virtualized machines

2026-03-04T12:19:23+00:00

[ Upstream commit e272628902c1c96731e2d9f62a7fc77767686eb0 ] On s390 'perf test's 'perf stat tests', subtest test_hybrid fails for z/VM systems. The root cause is this statement: $(perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 |\ grep -E "/cpu-cycles/[uH]*| cpu-cycles[:uH]* -c) The 'perf stat' output on a s390 z/VM system is # perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 56 context-switches # 46.3 cs/sec cs_per_second 1,210.41 msec cpu-clock # 11.9 CPUs CPUs_utilized 12 cpu-migrations # 9.9 migrations/sec ... 81 page-faults # 66.9 faults/sec ... 0.100891009 seconds time elapsed The grep command does not match any single line and exits with error code 1. As the bash script is executed with 'set -e', it aborts with the first error code being non-zero. Fix this and use 'wc -l' to count matching lines instead of 'grep ... -c'. Output before: # perf test 102 102: perf stat tests : FAILED! # Output after: # perf test 102 102: perf stat tests : Ok # Fixes: bb6e7cb11d97ce19 ("perf tools: Add fallback for exclude_guest") Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Reviewed-by: James Clark Signed-off-by: Thomas Richter Cc: Alexander Gordeev Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Jan Polensky Cc: linux-s390@vger.kernel.org Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Sumanth Korikkar Cc: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin

perf tests stat: Add test for error for an offline CPU

perf test stat: Update test expectations and events

2025-11-12T00:48:35+00:00

test_stat_record_report and test_stat_record_script used default output which triggers a bug when sending metrics. As this isn't relevant to the test switch to using named software events. Update the match in test_hybrid as the cycles event is now cpu-cycles to workaround potential ARM issues. Signed-off-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

perf test stat: Additional topdown grouping tests

2025-03-12T02:05:04+00:00

Add a loop and helper function to avoid repetition, the loop uses arrays so switch the shell to bash. Add additional topdown group tests where a topdown event needs to be moved beyond others and the slots event isn't first in the target group. This replicates issues that occur on hybrid systems where the other events are for the cpu_atom PMU. Test with both PMU and software events. Place the slots event later in the event list.

perf test stat: Avoid hybrid assumption when virtualized

2025-01-14T17:57:19+00:00

The cycles event will fallback to task-clock in the hybrid test when running virtualized. Change the test to not fail for this.

perf tools: Add fallback for exclude_guest

2024-10-22T16:51:22+00:00

Commit 7b100989b4f6bce70 ("perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default") changed to parse "cycles:P" event instead of creating a new cycles event for perf record. But it also changed the way how modifiers are handled so it doesn't set the exclude_guest bit by default. It seems Apple M1 PMU requires exclude_guest set and returns EOPNOTSUPP if not. Let's add a fallback so that it can work with default events. Also update perf stat hybrid tests to handle possible u or H modifiers.

perf test: Add a test for default perf stat command

2024-09-26T20:26:12+00:00

Test that one cycles event is opened for each core PMU when "perf stat" is run without arguments. The event line can either be output as "pmu/cycles/" or just "cycles" if there is only one PMU. Include 2 spaces for padding in the one PMU case to avoid matching when the word cycles is included in metric descriptions.
