2025-07-30perf test: Ensure lock contention using pipe modeJan Polensky1-13/+13
The 'kernel lock contention analysis test' requires reliable triggering of lock contention. On some systems, previous benchmark calls failed to generate sufficient contention due to low system activity or resource limits. This patch adds the -p (pipe) option to all calls of perf bench sched messaging, ensuring consistent lock contention without relying on socket-based communication.

2025-07-25perf sort: Use perf_env to set arch sort keys and headerIan Rogers4-17/+17
Previously arch_support_sort_key and arch_perf_header_entry used a weak symbol to compile as appropriate for x86 and powerpc. A limitation to this is that the handling of a data file could vary in cross-platform development. Change to using the perf_env of the current session to determine the architecture kind and set the sort key and header entries as appropriate.

2025-07-25perf dso: Move build_id to dso_idIan Rogers1-2/+2
The dso_id previously contained the major, minor, inode and inode generation information from a mmap2 event - the inode generation would be zero when reading from /proc/pid/maps. The build_id was in the dso. With build ID mmap2 events these fields wouldn't be initialized which would largely mean the special empty case where any dso would match for equality. This isn't desirable as if a dso is replaced we want the comparison to yield a difference. To support detecting the difference between DSOs based on build_id, move the build_id out of the DSO and into the dso_id. The dso_id is also stored in the DSO so nothing is lost. Capture in the dso_id what parts have been initialized and rename dso_id__inject to dso_id__improve_id so that it is clear the dso_id is being improved upon with additional information. With the build_id in the dso_id, use memcmp to compare for equality.

2025-07-24perf parse-events: Fix missing slots for Intel topdown metric eventsIan Rogers1-12/+12
Topdown metric events require grouping with a slots event. In perf metrics this is currently achieved by metrics adding an unnecessary "0 * tma_info_thread_slots". New TMA metrics trigger optimizations of the metric expression that removes the event and breaks the metric due to the missing but required event. Add a pass immediately before sorting and fixing parsed events, that insert a slots event if one is missing. Update test expectations to match this.

This is done as part of refactoring things for python, having the state split in two places complicates that implementation.

The annotate test was sped up by Thomas Richter <tmricht@linux.ibm.com> in commit 658a8805cb60 ("perf test: Speed up test case 70 annotate basic tests") by reducing the annotate output using head. This causes flakes on hybrid machines where the first event dumped may not have the samples for the test within it. Rather than reduce the output using `head` switch to `--percent-limit 10` which will stop annotate dumping functions that have an overhead of less than 10%, the noploop program should be using more.

2025-06-26perf test: Change all remaining #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bashJames Clark43-43/+43
There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells installed. Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing bash tests. Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local' variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already widely used in the tests. It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to the large number of bash tests that exist.

2025-06-09perf test trace: Change the regex pattern in the struct testHoward Chu1-1/+1
Ian mentioned a reliably occurred failure in the trace_btf_general test where he obtained trace output of: sleep/279619 clock_nanosleep(0, 0, {1,1,}, 0x7ffcd47b6450) = 0 But the regex pattern used for verification is "^sleep/[0-9]+ clock_nanosleep\(0, 0, \{1,\}, ..." This lead to a mismatch. The reason is, different sleep commands use different timespec data to call clock_nanosleep, on my machine, the value of tv_nsec is 0. ~~~ $ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1 0.000 (1000.196 ms): sleep/54261 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 0 }, rmtp: 0x7ffe13529550) = 0 ~~~ While Ian had this trace log: ~~~ $ sudo /tmp/perf/perf trace -e clock_nanosleep -- sleep 1 0.000 (1000.208 ms): sleep/1710732 clock_nanosleep(rqtp: { .tv_sec: 1, .tv_nsec: 1 }, rmtp: 0x7ffc091f4090) = 0 ~~~ Because sleep's behavior of setting 'tv_nsec' is not certain, and tv_sec is most definitely 1, this patch relaxes the key regex pattern to '\{1,.*\}' for a better chance of matching.

2025-06-09perf test trace: Use --sort-events in BTF general testsHoward Chu1-3/+3
Without the '--sort-events' flag, perf trace doesn't receive and process events based on their arrival time, thus PERF_RECORD_COMM event that assigns the correct comm to a PID, may be delivered and processed after regular samples, causing trace outputs not having a 'comm', e.g. 'mv', instead, having the default PID placeholder, e.g. ':14514'. Hopefully this answers Namhyung's question in [1]. You can simply justify the statement with this diff: [2]. Now, simply run this command multiple times: $ touch /tmp/file1 && sudo /tmp/perf trace -e renameat* -- mv /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 && rm -f /tmp/file2 And you should see two types of results: $ touch /tmp/file1 && sudo /tmp/perf trace -e renameat* -- mv /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 && rm -f /tmp/file2 [debug] deliver [debug] machine__process_comm_event [OVERRIDE] old :1221169 new mv str mv [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver 0.000 ( 0.013 ms): mv/1221169 renameat2(olddfd: CWD, oldname: "/tmp/file1", newdfd: CWD, newname: "/tmp/file2", flags: NOREPLACE) = 0 [debug] deliver $ touch /tmp/file1 && sudo /tmp/perf trace -e renameat* -- mv /tmp/file1 /tmp/file2 && rm -f /tmp/file2 [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver 0.000 ( 0.014 ms): :1221398/1221398 renameat2(olddfd: CWD, oldname: "/tmp/file1", newdfd: CWD, newname: "/tmp/file2", flags: NOREPLACE) = 0 [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] machine__process_comm_event [OVERRIDE] old :1221398 new mv str mv [debug] deliver [debug] deliver [debug] deliver Anyway, use --sort-events in BTF general tests to avoid :PID, a comm is preferred.

It was originally called 'timer:hrtimer_init', before being renamed in: commit 244132c4e577 ("tracing/timers: Rename the hrtimer_init event to hrtimer_setup") Using timer:hrtimer_start should be enough for current testing, and hopefully 'start' won't be renamed in the future.

This patch removes set -e and prints the error message after invoking perf trace during perf tests.
