perf test stat tests: Fix for virtualized machines

2026-03-04T12:20:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit e272628902c1c96731e2d9f62a7fc77767686eb0 ] On s390 'perf test's 'perf stat tests', subtest test_hybrid fails for z/VM systems. The root cause is this statement: $(perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 |\ grep -E "/cpu-cycles/[uH]*| cpu-cycles[:uH]* -c) The 'perf stat' output on a s390 z/VM system is # perf stat -a -- sleep 0.1 2>&1 Performance counter stats for 'system wide': 56 context-switches # 46.3 cs/sec cs_per_second 1,210.41 msec cpu-clock # 11.9 CPUs CPUs_utilized 12 cpu-migrations # 9.9 migrations/sec ... 81 page-faults # 66.9 faults/sec ... 0.100891009 seconds time elapsed The grep command does not match any single line and exits with error code 1. As the bash script is executed with 'set -e', it aborts with the first error code being non-zero. Fix this and use 'wc -l' to count matching lines instead of 'grep ... -c'.

perf test stat: Update test expectations and events

2026-03-04T12:20:30+00:00

[ Upstream commit a48cd551d7436be3b1bd65c63a6d00163f7e7706 ] test_stat_record_report and test_stat_record_script used default output which triggers a bug when sending metrics. As this isn't relevant to the test switch to using named software events. Update the match in test_hybrid as the cycles event is now cpu-cycles to workaround potential ARM issues.

perf test stat: Avoid hybrid assumption when virtualized

commit f9c506fb69bdcfb9d7138281378129ff037f2aa1 upstream. The cycles event will fallback to task-clock in the hybrid test when running virtualized. Change the test to not fail for this.

perf tools: Add fallback for exclude_guest

2025-10-19T14:30:41+00:00

[ Upstream commit bb6e7cb11d97ce1957894d30d13bfad3e8bfefe9 ] Commit 7b100989b4f6bce70 ("perf evlist: Remove __evlist__add_default") changed to parse "cycles:P" event instead of creating a new cycles event for perf record. But it also changed the way how modifiers are handled so it doesn't set the exclude_guest bit by default. It seems Apple M1 PMU requires exclude_guest set and returns EOPNOTSUPP if not. Let's add a fallback so that it can work with default events. Also update perf stat hybrid tests to handle possible u or H modifiers.

perf test: Add a test for default perf stat command

[ Upstream commit 65d11821910bd910a2b4b5b005360d036c76ecef ] Test that one cycles event is opened for each core PMU when "perf stat" is run without arguments. The event line can either be output as "pmu/cycles/" or just "cycles" if there is only one PMU. Include 2 spaces for padding in the one PMU case to avoid matching when the word cycles is included in metric descriptions.

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

2025-10-19T14:30:41+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

[ 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.

Later the patch 951efb9976ce "Update no event/metric expectations" kept only 4 of those events(0x8000-0x8300). Currently, the topdown events with numbers 0x8400 to 0x8700 are missing from the list of expected events resulting in a failure. Add back the missing topdown events.
