perf test stat tests: Fix for virtualized machines

2026-03-04T12:20:30+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'.

perf test stat: Update test expectations and events

2026-03-04T12:20:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit a48cd551d7436be3b1bd65c63a6d00163f7e7706 ] 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.

perf test stat: Avoid hybrid assumption when virtualized

2025-10-19T14:31:02+00:00

commit f9c506fb69bdcfb9d7138281378129ff037f2aa1 upstream. 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

2025-10-19T14:30:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb6e7cb11d97ce1957894d30d13bfad3e8bfefe9 ] 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

2025-10-19T14:30:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit 65d11821910bd910a2b4b5b005360d036c76ecef ] 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.

perf test: Add stat test for record and script

2023-05-10T17:36:18+00:00

When using the global aggregation mode, running perf script after perf stat record can result in a segmentation fault as seen with commit 8b76a3188b85 ("perf stat: Remove unused perf_counts.aggr field"). Add a basic test to the existing suite of stat-related tests for checking if that workflow runs without erroring out.

Breaking a weak group requires multiple passes of an evlist, with multiple runs this can introduce bugs ultimately leading to segfaults. Add a test to cover this.
