perf test: Change all remaining #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash

2025-06-26T17:31:05+00:00

There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells installed. Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing bash tests. Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local' variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already widely used in the tests. It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to the large number of bash tests that exist.

perf test intel-pt: Skip jitdump test if no libelf

jitdump support is only present if building with libelf. Skip the intel-pt jitdump test if perf isn't compiled with libelf support.

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

2024-10-28T16:32:58+00:00

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.

br_misp_retired.all_branches is supported on processors that support Intel PT, so use it to test sample mode with an event that has been given a PMU name. Please note, the test fails prior to the fix "perf parse-events: Do not break up AUX event group".

The virtual LBR test uses a python script to check the max size of branch stack in the Intel-PT generated LBR. But it didn't check whether python scripting is available (as it's optional). Let's skip the test if the python support is not available.

perf test: test_intel_pt.sh: Add 9 tests

Add tests: Test with MTC and TSC disabled Test with branches disabled Test with/without CYC Test recording with sample mode Test with kernel trace Test virtual LBR Test power events Test with TNT packets disabled Test with event_trace These tests mostly check that perf record works with the corresponding Intel PT config terms, sometimes also checking that certain packets do or do not appear in the resulting trace as appropriate. The "Test virtual LBR" is slightly trickier, using a Python script to check that branch stacks are actually synthesized.
