perf test record user-regs: Fix mask for vg register

2024-01-25T23:45:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 28b01743ca752cea5ab182297d8b912b22f2a2d1 ] The 'vg' register for arm64 shows up in --user_regs as available when masking the variable AT_HWCAP with 1 << 22 returns '1' as done in perf_regs.c. However, in subtests for support of SVE, the check for the 'vg' register is done by masking the variable AT_HWCAP with the value 0x200000 which is equals to 1 << 21 instead of 1 << 22. This results in inconsistencies on certain systems where the test expects that the 'vg' register is not operational when it is, and vice-versa. During the testing on a machine that the test expected not to have the 'vg' register available, 'perf record' with the option --user-regs showed records for the 'vg' register together with all of the others, which means that the mask for the subtest of perf_event_attr is off by one. Change the value of the mask from 0x200000 to 0x400000 to correct it.

perf test: Remove atomics from test_loop to avoid test failures

2024-01-25T23:45:20+00:00

[ Upstream commit 72b4ca7e993e94f09bcf6d19fc385a2e8060c71f ] The current use of atomics can lead to test failures, as tests (such as tests/shell/record.sh) search for samples with "test_loop" as the top-most stack frame, but find frames related to the atomic operation (e.g. __aarch64_ldadd4_relax). This change simply removes the "count" variable, as it is not necessary.

perf tests: test_arm_coresight: Simplify source iteration

2023-10-26T17:58:10+00:00

There are two reasons to do this, firstly there is a shellcheck warning in cs_etm_dev_name(), which can be completely deleted. And secondly the current iteration method doesn't support systems with both ETE and ETM because it picks one or the other. There isn't a known system with this configuration, but it could happen in the future. Iterating over all the sources for each CPU can be done by going through /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cs_etm/cpu* and following the symlink back to the Coresight device in /sys/bus/coresight/devices. This will work whether the device is ETE, ETM or any future name, and is much simpler and doesn't require any hard coded version numbers Suggested-by: Suzuki K Poulose Signed-off-by: James Clark Acked-by: Ian Rogers Tested-by: Leo Yan Cc: tianruidong@linux.alibaba.com Cc: Kajol Jain Cc: Anushree Mathur Cc: Tiezhu Yang Cc: atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com Cc: coresight@lists.linaro.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231023131550.487760-1-james.clark@arm.com Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim

tools/perf/tests: Fix object code reading to skip address that falls out of text section

2023-10-05T05:28:07+00:00

The testcase "Object code reading" fails in somecases for "fs_something" sub test as below: Reading object code for memory address: 0xc008000007f0142c File is: /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko On file address is: 0x1114cc Objdump command is: objdump -z -d --start-address=0x11142c --stop-address=0x1114ac /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko objdump read too few bytes: 128 test child finished with -1 This can alo be reproduced when running perf record with workload that exercises fs_something() code. In the test setup, this is exercising xfs code since root is xfs. # perf record ./a.out # perf report -v |grep "xfs.ko" 0.76% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007de5efc B [k] xlog_cil_commit 0.74% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007d5ae18 B [k] xfs_btree_key_offset 0.74% a.out /lib/modules/6.5.0-rc3+/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko 0xc008000007e11fd4 B [k] 0x0000000000112074 Here addr "0xc008000007e11fd4" is not resolved. since this is a kernel module, its offset is from the DSO. Xfs module is loaded at 0xc008000007d00000 # cat /proc/modules | grep xfs xfs 2228224 3 - Live 0xc008000007d00000 And size is 0x220000. So its loaded between 0xc008000007d00000 and 0xc008000007f20000. From objdump, text section is: text 0010f7bc 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000000a0 2**4 Hence perf captured ip maps to 0x112074 which is: ( ip - start of module ) + a0 This offset 0x112074 falls out .text section which is up to 0x10f7bc In this case for module, the address 0xc008000007e11fd4 is pointing to stub instructions. This address range represents the module stubs which is allocated on module load and hence is not part of DSO offset. To address this issue in "object code reading", skip the sample if address falls out of text section and is within the module end. Use the "text_end" member of "struct dso" to do this check. To address this issue in "perf report", exploring an option of having stubs range as part of the /proc/kallsyms, so that perf report can resolve addresses in stubs range However this patch uses text_end to skip the stub range for Object code reading testcase.

Switch the test program to sleep that makes more sense for system wide events. Only enable system wide when root or not paranoid. This avoids failures under some testing conditions like ARM cloud.
