perf tests: Remove wrong semicolon in while loop in CQM test

2016-01-26T14:14:06Z

The while loop was spinning. Fix by removing a semicolon. The issue was pointed out by gcc-6's -Wmisleading-indentation.

perf tests: No need to set attr.sample_freq in the perf time to TSC test

2016-01-07T14:26:54Z

We were asking for a 4kHz sample_freq, making the test fail needlessly when the system reduced /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate below that. In this test we only look at the PERF_SAMPLE_TIME fields in PERF_RECORD_ meta events, no need to set sample_freq. Thanks to Namhyung for suggesting that max_sample_rate could be the reason for the test failure, seeing the 'perf test -vv' output I sent.

perf subcmd: Create subcmd library

2015-12-17T17:27:14Z

Move the subcommand-related files from perf to a new library named libsubcmd.a. Since we're moving files anyway, go ahead and rename 'exec_cmd.*' to 'exec-cmd.*' to be consistent with the naming of all the other files.

perf tests: Pass the subtest index to each test routine

2015-11-19T16:19:15Z

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this. Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers, like the one in RHEL6, where: test a = { .func = foo, }; fails. To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

perf bpf: Compile dwarf-regs.c if CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE is on

2015-11-18T20:51:03Z

regs_query_register_offset() in dwarf-regs.c is required by BPF prologue. This patch compiles it if CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE is on to avoid build failure when CONFIG_BPF_PROLOGUE is on but CONFIG_DWARF is not set.

perf tests: Add Intel CQM test

2015-10-05T19:56:07Z

Peter reports that it's possible to trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE() in the Intel CQM code by combining a hardware event and an Intel CQM (software) event into a group. Unfortunately, the perf tools are not able to create this bundle and we need to manually construct a test case. For posterity, record Peter's proof of concept test case in tools/perf so that it presents a model for how we can perform architecture specific tests, or "arch tests", in perf in the future. The particular issue triggered in the test case is that when the counter for the hardware event overflows and triggers a PMI we'll read both the hardware event and the software event counters. Unfortunately, for CQM that involves performing an IPI to read the CQM event counters on all sockets, which in NMI context triggers the WARN_ON_ONCE().

perf tests: Move x86 tests into arch directory

2015-10-05T19:55:43Z

Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. We can also now begin to get rid of some of the #ifdef code that is present in the generic perf tests.

perf tests: Add arch tests

2015-10-05T19:55:38Z

Tests that only make sense for some architectures currently live in the same place as the generic tests. Move out the x86-specific tests into tools/perf/arch/x86/tests and define an 'arch_tests' array, which is the list of tests that only apply to the build architecture. The main idea is to encourage developers to add arch tests to build out perf's test coverage, without dumping everything in tools/perf/tests.
