perf build: Pass O option to kernel makefile in build-test

2016-01-15T19:32:00Z

Kernel makefile only follows an 'O' option passed from command line explicitely. In build-test with 'O' option set, kernel makefile contaminate kernel source directory. Build test also fail if we don't create output directory manually. K_O_OPT is added and passed to kernel makefile if 'O' is passed to build-test.

perf build: Test correct path of perf in build-test

2016-01-15T19:31:59Z

If an 'O' is passed to 'make build-test', many 'test -x' and 'test -f' will fail because perf resides in a different directory. Fix this by computing PERF_OUT according to 'O' and test correct output files. For make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools, set KBUILD_OUTPUT_DIR instead because the path is different from others ($(O)/perf vs $(O)/tools/perf).

perf build: Pass O option to Makefile.perf in build-test

2016-01-15T19:31:59Z

Unlike tools/perf/Makefile, tools/perf/Makefile.perf obey 'O' option when it is passed through cmdline only, due to code in tools/scripts/Makefile.include: ifneq ($(O),) ifeq ($(origin O), command line) ... ABSOLUTE_O := $(shell cd $(O) ; pwd) OUTPUT := $(ABSOLUTE_O)/$(if $(subdir),$(subdir)/) endif endif This patch passes 'O' to Makefile.perf through cmdline explicitly to make it follow O variable during build-test. 'make clean' should have identical 'O' option with 'make'. If not, config-clean may error.

perf build: Set parallel making options build-test

2016-01-15T19:31:59Z

'make build-test' is painful because of time consuming. In a full test, all test cases are built twice with tools/perf/Makefile and tools/perf/Makefile.perf. 'Makefile' automatically computes parallel options for make, but 'Makefile.perf' not, so all test cases is built with one job. It is very slow. This patch adds '-j' options to Makefile.perf testing. It computes parallel building options like what tools/perf/Makefile does, and pass '-j' option to Makefile.perf test.

perf test: Reset err after using it hold errcode in hist testcases

2016-01-11T22:22:22Z

All hists test cases forget to reset err after using it to hold an error code. If error occure in setup_fake_machine() it incorrectly return TEST_OK. This patch fixes it.

perf test: Fix false TEST_OK result for 'perf test hist'

2016-01-11T22:22:22Z

Commit 71d6de64fedd ("perf test: Fix hist testcases when kptr_restrict is on") solves a double free problem when 'perf test hist' calling setup_fake_machine(). However, the result is still incorrect. For example: $ ./perf test -v 'filtering hist entries' 25: Test filtering hist entries : --- start --- test child forked, pid 4186 Cannot create kernel maps test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test filtering hist entries: Ok In this case the body of this test is not get executed at all, but the result is 'Ok'. Actually, in setup_fake_machine() there's no need to create real kernel maps. What we want are the fake maps. This patch removes the machine__create_kernel_maps() in setup_fake_machine(), so it won't be affected by kptr_restrict setting. Test result: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict 1 $ ~/perf test -v hist 15: Test matching and linking multiple hists : --- start --- test child forked, pid 24031 test child finished with 0 ---- end ---- Test matching and linking multiple hists: Ok [SNIP] Suggested-and-Acked-by: Namhyung Kim Signed-off-by: Wang Nan Tested-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Zefan Li Cc: pi3orama@163.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1452520124-2073-12-git-send-email-wangnan0@huawei.com Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

tools: Move Makefile.arch from perf/config to tools/scripts

2016-01-11T22:22:20Z

After this patch other directories can use this architecture detector without directly including it from perf's directory. Libbpf would utilize it to get proper $(ARCH) so it can receive correct uapi include directory. Tested-by: Naveen N.

perf tools: Fix phony build target for build-test

2016-01-11T22:03:24Z

make_kernelsrc and make_kernelsrc_tools are skiped if a previous build-test is done, because 'make build-test' creates two files with same names. To avoid this, they should be included in .PHONY list.
