perf tests: Add a test case for checking sw clock event frequency

2013-03-18T14:43:16Z

This test case checks frequency conversion of hrtimer-based software clock events (cpu-clock, task-clock) have valid (non-1) periods.

perf test: Add test case for checking number of EXIT events

2013-03-15T16:06:12Z

The new test__task_exit() test runs a simple "/usr/bin/true" workload and then checks whether the number of EXIT event is 1 or not.

perf tests: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler counts

2013-03-15T16:06:10Z

Adding automated test to check the exact number of breakpoint event overflows and counts. This test was originally done by Vince Weaver for perf_event_tests. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: "H.

perf tests: Test breakpoint overflow signal handler

2013-03-15T16:06:10Z

Adding automated test for breakpoint event signal handler checking if it's executed properly. The test is related to the proper handling of the RF EFLAGS bit on x86_64, but it's generic for all archs. First we check the signal handler is properly called and that the following debug exception return to user space wouldn't trigger recursive breakpoint. This is related to x86_64 RF EFLAGS bit being managed in a wrong way. Second we check that we can set breakpoint in signal handler, which is not possible on x86_64 if the signal handler is executed with RF EFLAG set. This test is inpired by overflow tests done by Vince Weaver. Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Cc: "H. Peter Anvin" Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Corey Ashford Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: H.

perf test: Allow skipping tests

2013-01-24T19:40:53Z

Sometimes a test is problematic for some reason and one wants to skip it, for instance: [root@sandy ~]# perf test 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok 2: detect open syscall event : Ok 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok 4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok 5: parse events tests : Warning: bad op token { Warning: bad op token { Warning: bad op token { Warning: bad op token { Warning: bad op token { Warning: function is_writable_pte not defined Segmentation fault (core dumped) So now we can use -s/--skip while the problematic tests are being fixed, allowing us to test all the other entries: [root@sandy ~]# perf test -s 5 1: vmlinux symtab matches kallsyms : Ok 2: detect open syscall event : Ok 3: detect open syscall event on all cpus : Ok 4: read samples using the mmap interface : Ok 5: parse events tests : Skip (user override) 6: x86 rdpmc test : Ok 7: Validate PERF_RECORD_* events & perf_sample fields : Ok 8: Test perf pmu format parsing : Ok 9: Test dso data interface : Ok 10: roundtrip evsel->name check : Ok 11: Check parsing of sched tracepoints fields : Ok 12: Generate and check syscalls:sys_enter_open event fields: Ok 13: struct perf_event_attr setup : Ok 14: Test matching and linking mutliple hists : Ok 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : Ok [root@sandy ~]# Cc: David Ahern Cc: Frederic Weisbecker Cc: Jiri Olsa Cc: Mike Galbraith Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Paul Mackerras Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Stephane Eranian Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/n/tip-klzd8p57jzdryafqkmlppcb1@git.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo

perf tests: Add return states enum for tests

2013-01-24T19:40:14Z

Test can currently return one of 3 states: ok, fail, skip. The ok and fail states are self-explanatory. The skip state means that some of the conditions for running the test was not met, making it impossible to even run the test. For instance, if the hardware doesn't support the 'precise' level required by a test, it will be skipped.

perf test: Check for linking problems in the python binding

2013-01-24T19:40:09Z

It just will add the O= builddir to PYTHONPATH and try to 'use perf', which will, in verbose mode show the python backtrace with the missing symbols, such as in the problem fixed in the patch after this one: # perf test -v 15 15: Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems : --- start --- Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in ImportError: /home/acme/git/build/perf//python/perf.so: undefined symbol: test_attr__enabled ---- end ---- Try 'use perf' in python, checking link problems: FAILED! # Loooong overdue, done.

perf test: Add a test case for hists__{match,link}

2013-01-24T19:40:07Z

As they are used from diff and event group report, add a test case to verify their behaviors. In this test I made a fake machine and two evsel. Each evsel got 10 samples (so hist entries) - 5 are common and the rests are not. So after hists__match() both of them will have 5 entries with pair set. And the second evsel has a collapsed entry so that the total number is 9 - I made it in order to simulate more realistic case. Thus after hists__link the first entry will have 14 entries - 5 are common (w/ pair), 5 are unmatch (w/o pair) and 4 are dummy (w/ pair). And the second entry will have 9 entries all have its pair.
