2017-08-22perf test: Add test cases for new data source encodingAndi Kleen
Add some simple tests to perf test to test data source printing. v2: Make the tests actually checked for the correct name of Forward v3: Adjust to new encoding Committer notes: Avoid the in place declaration to make this build with older compilers, for instance, in Debian 7 we get: tests/mem.c: In function 'test__mem': tests/mem.c:30:5: error: missing initializer [-Werror=missing-field-initializers] tests/mem.c:30:5: error: (near initialization for '(anonymous).<anonymous>.mem_snoop') [-Werror=missing-field-initializers] So just zero a struct, then go on building the unions as needed, reusing settings from the previous test, i.e. local -> remote, etc. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816222156.19953-5-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>
2017-08-22perf tools: Expression parser enhancements for metricsAndi Kleen
Enhance the expression parser for more complex metric formulas. - Support python style IF ELSE operators - Add an #SMT_On magic variable for formulas that depend on the SMT status. Example: 4 *( CPU_CLK_UNHALTED.THREAD_ANY / 2 ) if #SMT_on else cycles - Support MIN/MAX operations Example: min(1 , IDQ.MITE_UOPS / ( UPI * 16 * ( ICACHE.HIT + ICACHE.MISSES ) / 4.0 ) ) This is useful to fix up problems caused by multiplexing. - Support | & ^ operators - Minor cleanups and fixes - Support an \ escape for operators. This allows to specify event names like c2-residency - Support @ as an alternative for / to be able to specify pmus without conflicts with operators (like msr/tsc/ as msr@tsc@) Example: (cstate_core@c3\\-residency@ / msr@tsc@) * 100 Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Jiri Olsa <jolsa@kernel.org> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170811232634.30465-8-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

Fix some users (close, ioctl) in evsel.c to use these fields directly. This allows simplifying the code and dropping quite a few function arguments. Adjust all callers by removing the unneeded arguments. The actual perf event reading still uses the original values from the evsel list.

2017-06-26perf tests: Add platform dependency to test 15Thomas Richter
This patch adds platform dependency into the test case 15 (perf_event_attr). It is based on a suggestion from Jiri Olsa. Add a new optional attribute named 'arch' in the [config] section of the test case file. It is a comma separated list of architecture names this test can be executed on. For example: arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc If this attribute is missing the test is executed on any platform. This does not break existing behavior. The values listed for this attribute should be identical to uname -m output. If the list starts with an exclamation mark (!) the comparison is inverted, for example for arch = !s390x,ppc the test is not executed on s390x or ppc platforms. The exclamation mark must be at the beginnning of the list. Here is an example debug output: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C2 arch = x86_64,alpha,ppc [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: running './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' test limitation 'x86_64,alpha,ppc' <--- new loading expected events Event event:base-stat fd = 1 group_fd = -1 ..... Here is the output when a test is skipped: [root@s35lp76]# fgrep arch tests/attr/test-stat-C1 arch = !s390x [root@s35lp76]# PERF_TEST_ATTR=/tmp /usr/bin/python2 ./tests/attr.py \ -d ./tests/attr/ -p ./perf -vvvvv -t test-stat-C1 provides the following output: test limitation '!s390x' <--- new skipped [s390x] './tests/attr//test-stat-C1' <--- new The test is skipped with return code 0.

2017-06-19perf test llvm: Avoid error when PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is setWang Nan
The 'if' keyword is a define that expands to complex code when CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES is selected, which causes a 'perf test LLVM' failure like: $ ./perf test LLVM 35: LLVM search and compile : 35.1: Basic BPF llvm compile : Ok 35.2: kbuild searching : Ok 35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation: FAILED! 35.4: Compile source for BPF relocation : Skip The only affected test case is bpf-script-test-prologue.c because it uses kernel headers and has 'if' inside. This patch undefines 'if' to make it passes perf test. More detailed analysis from a message in this thread, also by Wang: The problem is caused by following relocation information: $ readelf -a ./llvmsubtest3 ...

So I think the failure is because you enabled CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES. I can reproduce your buggy result by selecting CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES in my kbuild: $ ./perf test LLVM 35: LLVM search and compile : 35.1: Basic BPF llvm compile : Ok 35.2: kbuild searching : Ok 35.3: Compile source for BPF prologue generation: FAILED! 35.4: Compile source for BPF relocation : Skip Simply undef CONFIG_PROFILE_ALL_BRANCHES in clang opts not working because it is introduced by "#include <uapi/linux/fs.h>", which override cmdline options.

And here is the text from a report and alternative proposed patch by Thomas-Mich Richter: --- On s390 the counter and sampling facility do not support a precise IP skid level and sometimes returns EOPNOTSUPP when structure member precise_ip in struct perf_event_attr is not set to zero. On s390 commnd 'perf record -- true' fails with error EOPNOTSUPP. This happens only when no events are specified on command line. The functions called are ... --> perf_evlist__add_default --> perf_evsel__new_cycles --> perf_event_attr__set_max_precise_ip The last function determines the value of structure member precise_ip by invoking the perf_event_open() system call and checking the return code. The first successful open is the value for precise_ip. However the value is determined without setting member sample_period and indicates no sampling. On s390 the counter facility and sampling facility are different. The above procedure determines a precise_ip value of 3 using the counter facility. Later it uses the sampling facility with a value of 3 and fails with EOPNOTSUPP. --- v2: Older compilers (e.g. gcc 4.4.7) don't support referencing members of unnamed union members in the container struct initialization, so move from: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... .sample_period = 1, }; to right after it as: struct perf_event_attr attr = { ... }; attr.sample_period = 1; v3: We need to reset .sample_period to 0 to let the users of perf_evsel__new_cycles() to properly setup attr.sample_period or attr.sample_freq.

2017-06-08perf tests: Decompress kernel module before objdumpNamhyung Kim
If a kernel modules is compressed, it should be decompressed before running objdump to parse binary data correctly. This fixes a failure of object code reading test for me.

2017-06-05perf test: Disable breakpoint signal tests for powerpcJiri Olsa
The following tests are failing on powerpc: # perf test break 18: Breakpoint overflow signal handler : FAILED! 19: Breakpoint overflow sampling : FAILED! The powerpc kenel so far does not have support to even create instruction breakpoints using the perf event interface, so those tests fail early in the config phase. I added a '->is_supported()' callback to test struct to be able to disable specific tests. It seems better than putting ifdefs directly to the test array.

__kmod_path__parse() uses is_supported_compression() to determine and parse out compressed module file extensions.
