perf tests switch-tracking: Fix timestamp comparison

2025-06-19T13:28:28+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.

perf pmus: Remove perf_pmus__has_hybrid

2023-05-27T12:42:38+00:00

perf_pmus__has_hybrid was used to detect when there was >1 core PMU, this can be achieved with perf_pmus__num_core_pmus that doesn't depend upon is_pmu_hybrid and PMU name comparisons. When modifying the function calls take the opportunity to improve comments, enable/simplify tests that were previously failing for hybrid but now pass and to simplify generic code.

perf pmu: Separate pmu and pmus

Separate and hide the pmus list in pmus.[ch]. Move pmus functionality out of pmu.[ch] into pmus.[ch] renaming pmus functions which were prefixed perf_pmu__ to perf_pmus__.

perf tools: Move 'struct perf_sample' to a separate header file to disentangle headers

Some places were including event.h just to get 'struct perf_sample', move it to a separate place so that we speed up a bit the build. Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Add evlist__add_sched_switch()

2022-10-06T11:03:53+00:00

Add a help to create a system-wide sched_switch event. One merit is that it sets the system-wide bit before adding it to evlist so that the libperf can handle the cpu and thread maps correctly.

perf tools: Do not pass NULL to parse_events()

2022-08-10T17:30:09+00:00

Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never NULL.

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions.

Since for "cycles:u' on hybrid platform, it creates two "cycles". So the number of events in evlist is not expected in next test steps.
