perf test shell arm_coresight: Increase buffer size for Coresight basic tests

2024-06-12T09:39:12+00:00

[ Upstream commit 10b6ee3b597b1b1b4dc390aaf9d589664af31df9 ] These tests record in a mode that includes kernel trace but look for samples of a userspace process. This makes them sensitive to any kernel compilation options that increase the amount of time spent in the kernel. If the trace buffer is completely filled before userspace is reached then the test will fail. Double the buffer size to fix this. The other tests in the same file aren't sensitive to this for various reasons, for example the iterate devices test filters by userspace trace only. But in order to keep coverage of all the modes, increase the buffer size rather than filtering by userspace for the basic tests.

perf tests: Avoid fork in perf_has_symbol test

2024-02-22T17:12:04+00:00

perf test -vv Symbols is used to indentify symbols within the perf binary. Add the -F flag so that the test command doesn't fork the test before running. This removes a little overhead.

perf testsuite: Add common output checking helpers

2024-02-16T19:49:36+00:00

As a form of validation, it is a common practice to check the outputs of commands whether they contain expected patterns or match a certain regex. Add helpers for verifying that all regexes are found in the output, that all lines match any pattern from a set and that a certain expression is not present in the output. In verbose mode these helpers log mismatches for easier failure investigation.

perf stat: Support per-cluster aggregation

2024-02-09T22:59:53+00:00

Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2 cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster topology have been supported since [1]. perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find problems like L3T bandwidth contention. This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will be like: [root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S56-D0-CLS158 4 1,321,521,570 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS594 4 794,211,453 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS1030 4 41,623 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS1466 4 41,646 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS1902 4 16,863 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS2338 4 15,721 LLC-load S56-D0-CLS2774 4 22,671 LLC-load [...] On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will be look like: [root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': S56-D0-CLS0 64 18,011,485 cycles S7182-D0-CLS0 64 16,548,835 cycles Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it. Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the same L3 cache: $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list 0-31 $ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list 0-3 [1] commit c5e22feffdd7 ("topology: Represent clusters of CPUs within a die") Tested-by: Jie Zhan Reviewed-by: Tim Chen Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers Signed-off-by: Yicong Yang Cc: james.clark@arm.com Cc: 21cnbao@gmail.com Cc: prime.zeng@hisilicon.com Cc: Jonathan.Cameron@huawei.com Cc: fanghao11@huawei.com Cc: linuxarm@huawei.com Cc: tim.c.chen@intel.com Cc: linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240208024026.2691-1-yangyicong@huawei.com
