This reverts commit b7e5c59f3b0971f56ebbceb9d42cc45e9ac1cd94 which is commit 48918cacefd226af44373e914e63304927c0e7dc upstream. Commit in question broke building perf followingly with v5.15.195: | ld: perf-in.o: in function `test__PERF_RECORD': | tools/perf/tests/perf-record.c:142: undefined reference to `evlist__cancel_workload' The 'evlist__cancel_workload' seems to be introduced in commit e880a70f8046 ("perf stat: Close cork_fd when create_perf_stat_counter() failed") which is currently not included in the 5.15 stable series.

perf test: Don't leak workload gopipe in PERF_RECORD_*

2025-10-19T14:21:40+00:00

[ Upstream commit 48918cacefd226af44373e914e63304927c0e7dc ] The test starts a workload and then opens events. If the events fail to open, for example because of perf_event_paranoid, the gopipe of the workload is leaked and the file descriptor leak check fails when the test exits. To avoid this cancel the workload when opening the events fails.

perf tests switch-tracking: Fix timestamp comparison

2025-06-27T10:05:16+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.

perf test shell stat_bpf_counters: Fix test on Intel

2023-09-23T09:10:00+00:00

[ Upstream commit 68ca249c964f520af7f8763e22f12bd26b57b870 ] As of now, bpf counters (bperf) don't support event groups. But the default perf stat includes topdown metrics if supported (on recent Intel machines) which require groups. That makes perf stat exiting. $ sudo perf stat --bpf-counter true bpf managed perf events do not yet support groups. Actually the test explicitly uses cycles event only, but it missed to pass the option when it checks the availability of the command.

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

[ 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 < output comes out fine after each test run > $ perf bench internals synthesize -t | tee file.txt < output comes out only at the end of all tests > 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.
