perf tests: Fix test 68 zstd compression for s390

2020-07-31T12:27:32Z

Commit 5aa98879efe7 ("s390/cpum_sf: prohibit callchain data collection") prohibits call graph sampling for hardware events on s390. The information recorded is out of context and does not match. On s390 this commit now breaks test case 68 Zstd perf.data compression/decompression. Therefore omit call graph sampling on s390 in this test.

perf test: Fix test trace+probe_vfs_getname.sh on s390

2020-02-18T13:13:28Z

This test places a kprobe to function getname_flags() in the kernel which has the following prototype: struct filename *getname_flags(const char __user *filename, int flags, int *empty) The 'filename' argument points to a filename located in user space memory. Looking at commit 88903c464321c ("tracing/probe: Add ustring type for user-space string") the kprobe should indicate that user space memory is accessed. Output before: [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67 66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : FAILED! 67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: FAILED! [root@m35lp76 perf]# Output after: [root@m35lp76 perf]# ./perf test 66 67 66: Use vfs_getname probe to get syscall args filenames : Ok 67: Check open filename arg using perf trace + vfs_getname: Ok [root@m35lp76 perf]# Comments from Masami Hiramatsu: This bug doesn't happen on x86 or other archs on which user address space and kernel address space is the same. On some arches (ppc64 in this case?) user address space is partially or completely the same as kernel address space. (Yes, they switch the world when running into the kernel) In this case, we need to use different data access functions for each space. That is why I introduced the "ustring" type for kprobe events. As far as I can see, Thomas's patch is sane. Thomas, could you show us your result on your test environment? Comments from Thomas Richter: Test results for s/390 included above.

perf tests: Fixes hang in zstd compression test by changing the source of random data

2019-08-26T14:58:29Z

Running 'perf test' with zstd compression linked will hang at the test 'Zstd perf.data compression/decompression' because /dev/random blocks reads until there is enough entropy. This means that the test will appear to never complete unless the mouse is continually moved while running it.

perf test vfs_getname: Disable ~/.perfconfig to get default output

2019-08-12T19:26:02Z

To get the expected output we have to ignore whatever changes the user has in its ~/.perfconfig file, so set PERF_CONFIG to /dev/null to achieve that.

2019-07-06T17:31:01Z

perf test zstd: Fixup verbose mode output

2019-05-15T19:36:49Z

perf tests: Implement Zstd comp/decomp integration test

2019-05-15T19:36:49Z

Introduce a basic integration test for Zstd based record compression/decompression using 'perf record' and 'perf report'. Committer notes: Reduce a bit the freq (from 25 kHz to 5 kHz) and the number of /dev/null records read (from 1000 to 500), reducing the time it takes to something more in line with the time existing 'perf test' entries take to run.
