tools/perf: Fix timing issue with parallel threads in perf bench wake-up-parallel
perf bench futex fails as below and hangs intermittently when attempted to run on on a powerpc system: ./perf bench futex wake-parallel Running 'futex/wake-parallel' benchmark: Run summary [PID 88588]: blocking on 640 threads (at [private] futex 0x10464b8c), 640 threads waking up 1 at a time. [Run 1]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.1309 ms (+-53.27%) [Run 2]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.0120 ms (+-31.16%) [Run 3]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.1474 ms (+-92.47%) [Run 4]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.2883 ms (+-67.75%) [Run 5]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.4108 ms (+-39.60%) [Run 6]: Avg per-thread latency (waking 1/640 threads) in 0.7843 ms (+-78.98%) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) perf: couldn't wakeup all tasks (0/1) In the system, where perf bench wake-up-parallel is has system configuration of 640 cpus. After debugging, this turned out to be a timing issue. The benchmark creates threads equal to number of cpus and issues a futex_wait. Then it does a usleep for .1 second before initiating futex_wake. In system configuration with more threads, the usleep time is not enough. Patch changes the usleep from 100000 to 200000 With the patch, ran multiple iterations and there were no issues further seen Reported-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Athira Rajeev <atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com> Tested-by: Disha Goel <disgoel@linux.ibm.com> Cc: akanksha@linux.ibm.com Cc: kjain@linux.ibm.com Cc: maddy@linux.ibm.com Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240607044354.82225-3-atrajeev@linux.vnet.ibm.com
