perf test: Move attr files into shell directory where they are used

2024-10-17T20:17:36Z

Now the attr tests are shell tests move the associated python and configuration files. Update the installation build rules for the new directories. Recycle the lib install rules for python files allowing the explicit attr.py install line to be dropped.

perf test: Restore sample rate for perf_event_attr

2024-10-03T16:46:12Z

Test "Setup struct perf_event_attr" consists of multiple test cases that can affect the max sample rate value for perf events. Some test cases check this value as it should not be lowered under the set minimum for the given test. Currently, it is possible for the test cases to affect each other as the previous tests can lower the sample rate, leading to a possible failure of some of the future test cases as the value is not restored at any point. # 10: Setup struct perf_event_attr: --- start --- test child forked, pid 104220 Using CPUID 0x00000000413fd0c1 running './tests/attr/test-record-C0' Current sample rate: 10000 running './tests/attr/test-record-basic' Current sample rate: 900 running './tests/attr/test-record-branch-any' Current sample rate: 600 running './tests/attr/test-record-dummy-C0' Current sample rate: 600 expected sample_period=4000, got 600 FAILED './tests/attr/test-record-dummy-C0' - match failure Restore the max sample rate value for perf events to a reasonable value before each test case if its value was lowered too much to ensure the same conditions for each test case. # 10: Setup struct perf_event_attr: --- start --- test child forked, pid 107222 Using CPUID 0x00000000413fd0c1 running './tests/attr/test-record-C0' Current sample rate: 10000 running './tests/attr/test-record-basic' Current sample rate: 800 running './tests/attr/test-record-branch-any' Current sample rate: 700 unsupp './tests/attr/test-record-branch-any' running './tests/attr/test-record-branch-filter-any' Current sample rate: 10000 running './tests/attr/test-record-count' Current sample rate: 10000 running './tests/attr/test-record-data' Current sample rate: 600 running './tests/attr/test-record-dummy-C0' Current sample rate: 800 running './tests/attr/test-record-freq' Current sample rate: 10000 ...

perf test attr: Fix python SafeConfigParser() deprecation warning

2023-05-19T13:36:35Z

Address the warning: ``` tests/attr.py:155: DeprecationWarning: The SafeConfigParser class has been renamed to ConfigParser in Python 3.2. This alias will be removed in Python 3.12. Use ConfigParser directly instead. parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser() ``` by removing the word 'Safe'.

perf test: Add mechanism for skipping attr tests on kernel versions

2022-12-14T14:24:32Z

The first two version numbers are used since that is where the ABI changes happen, so seems to be the most useful for now. 'Until' is exclusive and 'since' is inclusive so that the same version number can be used to mark a point where the change comes into effect. This allows keeping the tests in a state where new tests will also pass on older kernels if the existence of a new feature isn't explicitly broadcast by the kernel. For example extended user regs are currently discovered by trial and error calls to perf_event_open.

perf test: Add mechanism for skipping attr tests on auxiliary vector values

2022-12-14T14:24:32Z

This can be used to skip tests or provide different test values on different platforms. For example to run a test only where Arm SVE is present add this to the config section: auxv = auxv["AT_HWCAP"] & 0x200000 == 0x200000 The value is a freeform Python expression that is evaled in the context of a map called "auxv" that contains the decoded auxiliary vector.

perf test: Add ability to test exit code for attr tests

2022-12-14T14:24:32Z

Currently the return value is used to skip the test, but sometimes it can be useful to test if a certain command should return a certain exit code.

perf script python: Remove explicit shebang from tests/attr.c

2019-01-25T14:12:10Z

tests/attr.c invokes attr.py via an explicit invocation of Python ($PYTHON) so there is therefore no need for an explicit shebang. Also most distros follow pep-0394 which recommends that /usr/bin/python refer only to v2 and so may not exist on the system (if PYTHON=python3).
