perf tests: Add dwarf unwind test for powerpc

2016-09-29T14:18:21Z

The user stack dump feature was recently added for powerpc. But there was no test case available to test it. This test works same as on other architectures by preparing a stack frame on the perf test thread and comparing each frame by unwinding it. $ ./perf test 50 50: Test dwarf unwind : Ok User stack dump for powerpc: https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/4/28/482 Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Anju T Sudhakar Cc: Josh Poimboeuf Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Matt Fleming Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Wang Nan Cc: linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474267100-31079-1-git-send-email-ravi.bangoria@linux.vnet.ibm.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf test: Add a test case for SDT event

2016-07-14T02:09:10Z

Add a basic test case for SDT event support. This test scans an SDT event in perftools and check whether the SDT event is correctly stored into the buildid cache. Here is an example: ---- $ perf test sdt -v 47: Test SDT event probing : --- start --- test child forked, pid 20732 Found 72 SDTs in /home/mhiramat/ksrc/linux/tools/perf/perf Writing cache: %sdt_perf:test_target=test_target Cache committed: 0 symbol:test_target file:(null) line:0 offset:0 return:0 lazy:(null) test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test SDT event probing: Ok ---- Signed-off-by: Masami Hiramatsu Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Ananth N Mavinakayanahalli Cc: Brendan Gregg Cc: Hemant Kumar Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/146831796546.17065.1502584370844087537.stgit@devbox Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests: Add test to check backward ring buffer

2016-05-09T21:11:22Z

This test checks reading from backward ring buffer. Test result: # ~/perf test 'ring buffer' 45: Test backward reading from ring buffer : Ok The test case is a while loop which calls prctl(PR_SET_NAME) multiple times. Each prctl should issue 2 events: one PERF_RECORD_SAMPLE, one PERF_RECORD_COMM. The first round creates a relative large ring buffer (256 pages). It can afford all events. Read from it and check the count of each type of events. The second round creates a small ring buffer (1 page) and makes it overwritable. Check the correctness of the buffer.

perf test: Add libbpf relocation checker

2016-01-26T15:10:55Z

There's a bug in LLVM that it can generate unneeded relocation information. See [1] and [2]. Libbpf should check the target section of a relocation symbol. This patch adds a testcase which references a global variable (BPF doesn't support global variables). Before fixing libbpf, the new test case can be loaded into kernel, the global variable acts like the first map. It is incorrect. Result: # ~/perf test BPF 37: Test BPF filter : 37.1: Test basic BPF filtering : Ok 37.2: Test BPF prologue generation : Ok 37.3: Test BPF relocation checker : FAILED! # ~/perf test -v BPF ... libbpf: loading object '[bpf_relocation_test]' from buffer libbpf: section .strtab, size 126, link 0, flags 0, type=3 libbpf: section .text, size 0, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: section .data, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: section .bss, size 0, link 0, flags 3, type=8 libbpf: section func=sys_write, size 104, link 0, flags 6, type=1 libbpf: found program func=sys_write libbpf: section .relfunc=sys_write, size 16, link 10, flags 0, type=9 libbpf: section maps, size 16, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: maps in [bpf_relocation_test]: 16 bytes libbpf: section license, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: license of [bpf_relocation_test] is GPL libbpf: section version, size 4, link 0, flags 3, type=1 libbpf: kernel version of [bpf_relocation_test] is 40400 libbpf: section .symtab, size 144, link 1, flags 0, type=2 libbpf: map 0 is "my_table" libbpf: collecting relocating info for: 'func=sys_write' libbpf: relocation: insn_idx=7 Success unexpectedly: libbpf error when dealing with relocation test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Test BPF filter subtest 2: FAILED!

perf tools: Add stat config event synthesize function

2015-12-17T17:38:19Z

Introduce the perf_event__synthesize_stat_config to synthesize a 'struct perf_stat_config'.
