perf evsel: Disable write_backward for leader sampling group events

2018-04-23T14:21:56Z

.. and other related fields that do not need to be enabled for events that have sampling leader. It fixes the perf top usage Ingo reported broken: # perf top -e '{cycles,msr/aperf/}:S' The 'msr/aperf/' event is configured for write_back sampling, which is not allowed by the MSR PMU, so it fails to create the event. Adjusting related attr test.

perf tests attr: Make hw events optional

2017-10-23T14:20:54Z

Otherwise we fail on virtual machines with no support for specific HW events. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: David Ahern Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20171009130712.14747-1-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests attr: Fix group stat tests

2017-10-03T12:41:45Z

We started to use group read whenever it's possible: 82bf311e15d2 perf stat: Use group read for event groups That breaks some of attr tests, this change adds the new possible read_format value.

perf tests attr: Fix task term values

2017-10-02T16:59:18Z

The perf_event_attr::task is 1 by default for first (tracking) event in the session. Setting task=1 as default and adding task=0 for cases that need it.

perf tests attr: Add optional term

2017-07-19T02:14:22Z

Some of the stat events are quite rare to find on common machines (like front end cycles). Adding an 'optional' term to mark such events in attr tests. Event marked as optional will not fail the test case if it's not found in results.

perf tests attr: Fix stat sample_type setup

2017-07-19T02:14:21Z

>From following commit: commit 4979d0c7d0c7 ("perf stat record: Add record command") we started to assign PERF_SAMPLE_IDENTIFIER to sample_type. Fixing the attr stat tests accordingly.

perf tests attr: Fix precise_ip setup

2017-07-19T02:14:21Z

We have a test to detect to highest precise possible, so test can't just predict precise_ip value.

perf tests attr: Fix sample_period setup

2017-07-19T02:14:20Z

The final period can differ from what user specifies on command line due to the perf_event_max_sample_rate sysctl setup. Thus we can't predixt the sample_period value any more.

perf tests attr: Add proper return values

2017-07-19T02:14:19Z

The record command now properly returns the status of the tracee if there's any. We need to properly set the expected return value of the tracee in the attr tests.
