perf tests switch-tracking: Fix timestamp comparison

2025-06-27T10:04:06+00:00

[ Upstream commit 628e124404b3db5e10e17228e680a2999018ab33 ] The test might fail on the Arm64 platform with the error: # perf test -vvv "Track with sched_switch" Missing sched_switch events # The issue is caused by incorrect handling of timestamp comparisons. The comparison result, a signed 64-bit value, was being directly cast to an int, leading to incorrect sorting for sched events. The case does not fail everytime, usually I can trigger the failure after run 20 ~ 30 times: # while true; do perf test "Track with sched_switch"; done 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : FAILED! 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : FAILED! 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok I used cross compiler to build Perf tool on my host machine and tested on Debian / Juno board. Generally, I think this issue is not very specific to GCC versions. As both internal CI and my local env can reproduce the issue. My Host Build compiler: # aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc --version aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc (Ubuntu 13.3.0-6ubuntu2~24.04) 13.3.0 Juno Board: # lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Release: 12 Codename: bookworm Fix this by explicitly returning 0, 1, or -1 based on whether the result is zero, positive, or negative.

perf evsel: Rename perf_evsel{str,int}val() and other tracepoint field metehods to to evsel*()
