[ Upstream commit 4a6cdecaa1497f1fbbd1d5307a225b6ca5a62a90 ]

Since the commit e9846f5ead26 ("perf test: In forked mode add check that
fds aren't leaked"), the test "Breakpoint accounting" reports the error:

  # perf test -vvv "Breakpoint accounting"
  20: Breakpoint accounting:

  wp 2 created
  wp 3 created
  wp 0 modified to bp
  wp max created
  ---- end(0) ----
  Leak of file descriptor 7 that opened: 'anon_inode:[perf_event]'

A watchpoint's file descriptor was not properly released. This patch
fixes the leak.

[ 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

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.

Without gcc, the test will fail.

On cleanup, ignore probe removal errors. Otherwise, in case of an error
adding the probe, the temporary directory is not removed.

<title>perf bench: Use unbuffered output when pipe/tee'ing to a file</title>

[ Upstream commit f0a29c9647ff8bbb424641f79bc1894e83dec218 ]

The output of 'perf bench' gets buffered when I pipe it to a file or to
tee, in such a way that I can see it only at the end.

E.g.

  $ perf bench internals synthesize -t
  &lt; output comes out fine after each test run &gt;

  $ perf bench internals synthesize -t | tee file.txt
  &lt; output comes out only at the end of all tests &gt;

This patch resolves this issue for 'bench' and 'test' subcommands.

See, also:

  $ perf bench mem all | tee file.txt
  $ perf bench sched all | tee file.txt
  $ perf bench internals all -t | tee file.txt
  $ perf bench internals all | tee file.txt

Committer testing:

It really gets staggered, i.e. outputs in bursts, when the buffer fills
up and has to be drained to make up space for more output.

Commit 463538a383a2 ("perf tests: Fix test 68 zstd compression for
s390") inadvertently removed the -g flag from all platforms rather than
just s390, because the [[ ]] construct fails in sh. Changing to single
brackets restores testing of call graphs and removes the following error
from the output:

  $ ./perf test -v 85

ASan reports a memory leak when running:

  # perf test "65: maps__merge_in"

This is the second and final patch addressing these memory leaks.

This time, the problem is simply that the maps object is never
destructed.

This patch adds the missing maps__exit call.

ASan reports a memory leak when running:

  # perf test "49: Synthesize attr update"

Caused by evlist not being deleted.

This patch adds the missing evlist__delete and removes the
perf_cpu_map__put since it's already being deleted by evlist__delete.

[ Upstream commit 233f2dc1c284337286f9a64c0152236779a42f6c ]

ASan reports a memory leak related to session-&gt;evlist while running:

  # perf test "41: Session topology".

When perf_data is in write mode, session-&gt;evlist is owned by the caller,
which should also take care of deleting it.

This patch adds the missing evlist__delete().
