perf test: Add watchpoint test

2018-09-18T20:21:13Z

We don't have a 'perf test' entry available to test the watchpoint functionality. Add a simple set of tests: - Read only watchpoint - Write only watchpoint - Read / Write watchpoint - Runtime watchpoint modification Ex.: on powerpc: $ sudo perf test 22 22: Watchpoint : 22.1: Read Only Watchpoint : Ok 22.2: Write Only Watchpoint : Ok 22.3: Read / Write Watchpoint : Ok 22.4: Modify Watchpoint : Ok Signed-off-by: Ravi Bangoria Acked-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Hendrik Brueckner Cc: Kate Stewart Cc: Kim Phillips Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Naveen N.

perf tests: Add mem2node object test

2018-03-16T16:52:48Z

Adding mem2node object automated test. The test prepares few artificial nodes - memory maps and verifies the mem2node object returns proper node values to given addresses.

perf tests: Add breakpoint accounting/modify test

2018-03-13T14:23:37Z

Adding test that: - detects the number of watch/break-points, skip test if any is missing - detects PERF_EVENT_IOC_MODIFY_ATTRIBUTES ioctl, skip test if it's missing - detects if watchpoints and breakpoints share same slots - create all possible watchpoints on cpu 0 - change one of it to breakpoint - in case wp and bp do not share slots, we create another watchpoint to ensure the slot accounting is correct Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Hari Bathini Cc: Jin Yao Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Kan Liang Cc: Linus Torvalds Cc: Michael Ellerman Cc: Milind Chabbi Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Sukadev Bhattiprolu Cc: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Will Deacon Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180312134548.31532-9-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

perf test: Add test cases for new data source encoding

2017-08-22T16:23:10Z

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)..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 Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Jiri Olsa Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170816222156.19953-5-andi@firstfloor.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Fix build with ARCH=x86_64

2017-06-14T18:44:29Z

With commit: 0a943cb10ce78 (tools build: Add HOSTARCH Makefile variable) when building for ARCH=x86_64, ARCH=x86_64 is passed to perf instead of ARCH=x86, so the perf build process searchs header files from tools/arch/x86_64/include, which doesn't exist. The following build failure is seen: In file included from util/event.c:2:0: tools/include/uapi/linux/mman.h:4:27: fatal error: uapi/asm/mman.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Fix this issue by using SRCARCH instead of ARCH in perf, just like the main kernel Makefile and tools/objtool's.

perf tools: Add a simple expression parser for JSON

2017-03-23T14:39:27Z

Add a simple expression parser good enough to parse JSON relation expressions. The parser is implemented using bison. This is just intended as an simple parser for internal usage in the event lists, not the beginning of a "perf scripting language" v2: Use expr__ prefix instead of expr_ Support multiple free variables for parser Committer note: The v2 patch had: %define api.pure full In expr.y, that is a feature introduced in bison 2.7, to have reentrant parsers, not using global variables, which would make tools/perf stop building with the bison version shipped in older distros, so Andi realised that the other parsers (e.g. parse-events.y) were using: %pure-parser Which is present in older versions of bison and fits the bill. I added: CFLAGS_expr-bison.o += -DYYENABLE_NLS=0 -DYYLTYPE_IS_TRIVIAL=0 -w To finally make it build, copying what was there for pmu-bison.o, another parser.

perf tools: Add unit_number__scnprintf function

2017-01-11T19:48:01Z

Add unit_number__scnprintf function to display size units and use it in -m option info message. Before: $ perf record -m 10M ls rounding mmap pages size to 16777216 bytes (4096 pages) ...

perf clang: Add builtin clang support ant test case

2016-12-05T18:51:43Z

Add basic clang support in clang.cpp and test__clang() testcase. The first testcase checks if builtin clang is able to generate LLVM IR. tests/clang.c is a proxy. Real testcase resides in utils/c++/clang-test.cpp in c++ and exports C interface to perf test subsystem. Test result: $ perf test -v clang 51: builtin clang support : 51.1: Test builtin clang compile C source to IR : --- start --- test child forked, pid 13215 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test builtin clang support subtest 0: Ok Committer note: Make sure you've enabled CLANG and LLVM builtin support by setting the LIBCLANGLLVM variable on the make command line, e.g.: make LIBCLANGLLVM=1 O=/tmp/build/perf -C tools/perf install-bin Otherwise you'll get this when trying to do the 'perf test' call above: # perf test clang 51: builtin clang support : Skip (not compiled in) # Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Joe Stringer Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161126070354.141764-11-wangnan0@huawei.com [ Removed "Test" from descriptions, redundant and already removed from all the other entries ] Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tools: Introduce perf hooks

2016-11-29T15:13:27Z

Perf hooks allow hooking user code at perf events. They can be used for manipulation of BPF maps, taking snapshot and reporting results. In this patch two perf hook points are introduced: record_start and record_end. To avoid buggy user actions, a SIGSEGV signal handler is introduced into 'perf record'. It turns off perf hook if it causes a segfault and report an error to help debugging. A test case for perf hook is introduced. Test result: $ ./buildperf/perf test -v hook 50: Test perf hooks : --- start --- test child forked, pid 10311 SIGSEGV is observed as expected, try to recover. Fatal error (SEGFAULT) in perf hook 'test' test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test perf hooks: Ok Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Cc: Alexei Starovoitov Cc: He Kuang Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Joe Stringer Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161126070354.141764-5-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

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
