From 7f20d371fd879f5bb9be739c86c9bac13ea920c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sun Jian Date: Sat, 28 Feb 2026 15:45:55 +0800 Subject: selftests/bpf: bpf_cookie: Make perf_event subtest trigger reliably The perf_event subtest relies on SW_CPU_CLOCK sampling to trigger the BPF program, but the current CPU burn loop can be too short on slower systems and may fail to generate any overflow sample. This leaves pe_res unchanged and makes the test flaky. Make burn_cpu() take a loop count and use a longer burn only for the perf_event subtest. Also scope perf_event_open() to the current task to avoid wasting samples on unrelated activity.
