perf test task_exit: No need for a cycles event to check if we get an PERF_RECORD_EXIT

2023-07-17T13:27:44+00:00

The intent of this test is to check we get a PERF_RECORD_EXIT as asked for by setting perf_event_attr.task=1. When the test was written we didn't had the "dummy" event so we went with the default event, "cycles". There were reports of this test failing sometimes, one of these reports was with a PREEMPT_RT_FULL, but I noticed it failing sometimes with an aarch64 Firefly board. In the kernel the call to perf_event_task_output(), that generates the PERF_RECORD_EXIT may fail when there is not enough memory in the ring buffer, if the ring buffer is paused, etc. So switch to using the "dummy" event to use the ring buffer just for what the test was designed for, avoiding uneeded PERF_RECORD_SAMPLEs.

perf test: Move each test suite struct to its test

2021-11-13T13:30:58+00:00

Rather than export test functions, export the test struct. Rename with a suite__ prefix to avoid name collisions. Committer notes: Its '&suite__vectors_page', not '&suite__vectors_pages', noticed when cross building to arm (32-bit).

perf test: Fix cpu and thread map leaks in task_exit test

2021-03-06T19:54:28+00:00

The evlist has the maps with its own refcounts so we don't need to set the pointers to NULL. Otherwise following error was reported by Asan. Also change the goto label since it doesn't need to have two. # perf test -v 24 24: Number of exit events of a simple workload : --- start --- test child forked, pid 145915 mmap size 528384B ================================================================= ==145915==ERROR: LeakSanitizer: detected memory leaks Direct leak of 32 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from: #0 0x7fc44e50d1f8 in __interceptor_realloc ../../../../src/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cpp:164 #1 0x561cf50f4d2e in perf_thread_map__realloc /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/lib/perf/threadmap.c:23 #2 0x561cf4eeb949 in thread_map__new_by_tid util/thread_map.c:63 #3 0x561cf4db7fd2 in test__task_exit tests/task-exit.c:74 #4 0x561cf4d798fb in run_test tests/builtin-test.c:428 #5 0x561cf4d798fb in test_and_print tests/builtin-test.c:458 #6 0x561cf4d7ba53 in __cmd_test tests/builtin-test.c:679 #7 0x561cf4d7ba53 in cmd_test tests/builtin-test.c:825 #8 0x561cf4de7d04 in run_builtin /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf.c:313 #9 0x561cf4c71a88 in handle_internal_command /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf.c:365 #10 0x561cf4c71a88 in run_argv /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf.c:409 #11 0x561cf4c71a88 in main /home/namhyung/project/linux/tools/perf/perf.c:539 #12 0x7fc44e042d09 in __libc_start_main ../csu/libc-start.c:308 ... test child finished with 1 ---- end ---- Number of exit events of a simple workload: FAILED!

perf test: Avoid infinite loop for task exit case

2019-10-15T11:36:22+00:00

When executing the task exit testing case, perf gets stuck in an endless loop this case and doesn't return back on Arm64 Juno board. After digging into this issue, since Juno board has Arm's big.LITTLE CPUs, thus the PMUs are not compatible between the big CPUs and little CPUs. This leads to a PMU event that cannot be enabled properly when the traced task is migrated from one variant's CPU to another variant. Finally, the test case runs into infinite loop for cannot read out any event data after return from polling. Eventually, we need to work out formal solution to allow PMU events can be freely migrated from one CPU variant to another, but this is a difficult task and a different topic. This patch tries to fix the Perf test case to avoid infinite loop, when the testing detects 1000 times retrying for reading empty events, it will directly bail out and return failure. This allows the Perf tool can continue its other test cases.

perf test: Report failure for mmap events

2019-10-15T11:36:22+00:00

When fail to mmap events in task exit case, it misses to set 'err' to -1; thus the testing will not report failure for it. This patch sets 'err' to -1 when fails to mmap events, thus Perf tool can report correct result.
