perf test: Add Symbols test

2023-01-22T21:09:56Z

Add a test to check function symbols do not overlap and are not zero length. The main motivation for the test is to make it easier to review changes to PLT symbol synthesis i.e. changes to dso__synthesize_plt_symbols(). By default the test uses the perf executable as a test DSO, but a specific DSO can be specified via a new perf test option "--dso". The test is useful in the following ways: - Any DSO can be tested, even ones that do not run on the current architecture. For example, using cross-compiled DSOs to see how well perf handles different architectures. - With verbose > 1 (e.g. -vv), all the symbols are printed, which makes it easier to see issues. - perf removes duplicate symbols and expands zero-length symbols to reach the next symbol, however that is done before adding synthesized symbols, so the test is checking those also. Example: $ perf test -v Symbols 74: Symbols : --- start --- test child forked, pid 154918 Testing /home/user/bin/perf Overlapping symbols: 7d000-7f3a0 g _init 7d030-7d040 g __printf_chk@plt test child finished with -1 ---- end ---- Symbols: FAILED! Note the test fails because perf expands the _init symbol over the PLT because there are no PLT symbols at that point, but then dso__synthesize_plt_symbols() creates them.

perf build: Use libtraceevent from the system

2022-12-14T14:16:12Z

Remove the LIBTRACEEVENT_DYNAMIC and LIBTRACEFS_DYNAMIC make command line variables. If libtraceevent isn't installed or NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 is passed to the build, don't compile in libtraceevent and libtracefs support. This also disables CONFIG_TRACE that controls "perf trace". CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT is used to control enablement in Build/Makefiles, HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is used in C code. Without HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT tracepoints are disabled and as such the commands kmem, kwork, lock, sched and timechart are removed. The majority of commands continue to work including "perf test". Committer notes: Fixed up a tools/perf/util/Build reject and added: #include to tools/perf/util/scripting-engines/trace-event-perl.c.

Building with NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 uncovered some more build failures: - Make building of data-convert-bt.c to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += scripts/ - bpf_kwork.o needs also to be dependent on CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y - The python binding needed some fixups and util/trace-event.c can't be built and linked with the python binding shared object, so remove it in tools/perf/util/setup.py and exclude it from the list of dependencies in the python/perf.so Makefile.perf target. Building without libtraceevent-devel installed uncovered more build failures: - The python binding tools/perf/util/python.c was assuming that traceevent/parse-events.h was always available, which was the case when we defaulted to using the in-kernel tools/lib/traceevent/ files, now we need to enclose it under ifdef HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT, just like the other parts of it that deal with tracepoints. - We have to ifdef the rules in the Build files with CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT=y to build builtin-trace.c and tools/perf/trace/beauty/ as we only ifdef setting CONFIG_TRACE=y when setting NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1 in the make command line, not when we don't detect libtraceevent-devel installed in the system. Simplification here to avoid these two ways of disabling builtin-trace.c and not having CONFIG_TRACE=y when libtraceevent-devel isn't installed is the clean way. From Athira: tools/perf/arch/powerpc/util/Build -perf-y += kvm-stat.o +perf-$(CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT) += kvm-stat.o Then, ditto for arm64 and s390, detected by container cross build tests. - s/390 uses test__checkevent_tracepoint() that is now only available if HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT is defined, enclose the callsite with ifder HAVE_LIBTRACEEVENT. Also from Athira: With this change, I could successfully compile in these environment: - Without libtraceevent-devel installed - With libtraceevent-devel installed - With “make NO_LIBTRACEEVENT=1” Then, finally rename CONFIG_TRACEEVENT to CONFIG_LIBTRACEEVENT for consistency with other libraries detected in tools/perf/.

perf test: Add event group test for events in multiple PMUs

2022-12-14T14:16:12Z

Multiple events in a group can belong to one or more PMUs, however there are some limitations. One of the limitations is that perf doesn't allow creating a group of events from different hw PMUs. Write a simple test to create various combinations of hw, sw and uncore PMU events and verify group creation succeeds or fails as expected.

perf test: Add -w/--workload option

2022-11-20T14:32:23Z

The -w/--workload option is to run a simple workload used by testing. This adds a basic framework to run the workloads and 'noploop' workload as an example. $ perf test -w noploop The noploop does a loop doing nothing (NOP) for a second by default. It can have an optional argument to specify the time in seconds.

perf test: Refactor shell tests allowing subdirs

2022-08-13T18:13:20Z

This is a prelude to adding more tests to shell tests and in order to support putting those tests into subdirectories, I need to change the test code that scans/finds and runs them. To support subdirs I have to recurse so it's time to refactor the code to allow this and centralize the shell script finding into one location and only one single scan that builds a list of all the found tests in memory instead of it being duplicated in 3 places. This code also optimizes things like knowing the max width of desciption strings (as we can do that while we scan instead of a whole new pass of opening files). It also more cleanly filters scripts to see only *.sh files thus skipping random other files in directories like *~ backup files, other random junk/data files that may appear and the scripts must be executable to make the cut (this ensures the script lib dir is not seen as scripts to run). This avoids perf test running previous older versions of test scripts that are editor backup files as well as skipping perf.data files that may appear and so on.

perf test sigtrap: Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling

perf tests: Add dlfilter test

2021-08-11T12:35:44Z

Add a perf test to test the dlfilter C API. A perf.data file is synthesized and then processed by perf script with a dlfilter named dlfilter-test-api-v0.so. Also a C file is compiled to provide a dso to match the synthesized perf.data file.

perf tests tsc: Make tsc testing as a common testing

2020-11-04T12:42:40Z

x86 arch provides the testing for conversion between tsc and perf time, the testing is located in x86 arch folder. Move this testing out from x86 arch folder and place it into the common testing folder, so allows to execute tsc testing on other architectures (e.g. Arm64). This patch removes the inclusion of "arch-tests.h" from the testing code, this can avoid building failure if any arch has no this header file.
