perf test: Add 'datasym' test workload

2022-11-23T13:29:21+00:00

The datasym workload is to check if perf mem command gets the data addresses precisely. This is needed for data symbol test. $ perf test -w datasym I had to keep the buf1 in the data section, otherwise it could end up in the BSS and was mmaped as a separate //anon region, then it was not symbolized at all. It needs to be fixed separately. Committer notes: Add a -U _FORTIFY_SOURCE to the datasym CFLAGS, as the main perf flags set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has a -O0.

perf test: Add 'brstack' test workload

2022-11-23T13:28:01+00:00

The brstack is to run different kinds of branches repeatedly. This is necessary for brstack test case to verify if it has correct branch info. $ perf test -w brstack I renamed the internal functions to have brstack_ prefix as it's too generic name. Add a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the brstack CFLAGS, as the main perf flags set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has a -O0.

perf test: Add 'sqrtloop' test workload

2022-11-23T13:26:27+00:00

The sqrtloop creates a child process to run an infinite loop calling sqrt() with rand(). This is needed for ARM SPE fork test. $ perf test -w sqrtloop It can take an optional argument to specify how long it will run in seconds (default: 1). Committer notes: Explicitely ignored the sqrt() return to fix the build on systems where the compiler complains it isn't being used. And added a sqrtloop specific CFLAGS to disable optimizations to make this a bit more robust wrt dead code elimination. Doing that a -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE needs to be added, as -O0 is incompatible with it.

perf test: Add 'leafloop' test workload

2022-11-23T13:24:59+00:00

The leafloop workload is to run an infinite loop in the test_leaf function. This is needed for the ARM fp callgraph test to verify if it gets the correct callchains. $ perf test -w leafloop Committer notes: Add a: -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE to the leafloop CFLAGS as the main perf flags set it and it requires building with optimization, and this new test has a -O0.

perf test: Add 'thloop' test workload

2022-11-20T14:32:23+00:00

The thloop is similar to noploop but runs in two threads. This is needed to verify perf record --per-thread to handle multi-threaded programs properly. $ perf test -w thloop It also takes an optional argument to specify runtime in seconds (default: 1).

perf test: Add -w/--workload option

2022-11-20T14:32:23+00:00

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing. This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload as an example. $ perf test -w noploop The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default. It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.
