perf test shell: Prevent temporary editor files from being considered test scripts

[ Upstream commit db8fec583f250557ddd6def1505a6c466c9747aa ] Allows a perf shell test developer to concurrently edit and run their test scripts, avoiding perf test attempts to execute their editor temporary files, such as seen here: $ sudo taskset -c 0 ./perf test -vvvvvvvv -F 63 63: 0VIM 8.0 : --- start --- sh: 1: ./tests/shell/.record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh.swp: Permission denied ---- end ---- 0VIM 8.0: FAILED!

perf tests: Add event parsing error handling to parse events test

2018-08-24T11:06:50Z

[ Upstream commit 933ccf2002aaef1037cb676622a694f5390c3d59 ] Add missing error handling for parse_events calls in test_event function that led to following segfault on s390: running test 52 'intel_pt//u' perf: Segmentation fault ... /lib64/libc.so.6(vasprintf+0xe6) [0x3fffca3f106] /lib64/libc.so.6(asprintf+0x46) [0x3fffca1aa96] ./perf(parse_events_add_pmu+0xb8) [0x80132088] ./perf(parse_events_parse+0xc62) [0x8019529a] ./perf(parse_events+0x98) [0x801341c0] ./perf(test__parse_events+0x48) [0x800cd140] ./perf(cmd_test+0x26a) [0x800bd44a] test child interrupted Adding the struct parse_events_error argument to parse_events call. Also adding parse_events_print_error to get more details on the parsing failures, like: # perf test 6 -v running test 52 'intel_pt//u'failed to parse event 'intel_pt//u', err 1, str 'Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support?' event syntax error: 'intel_pt//u' \___ Cannot find PMU `intel_pt'. Missing kernel support? Committer note: Use named initializers in the struct parse_events_error variable to avoid breaking the build on centos5, 6 and others with a similar gcc: cc1: warnings being treated as errors tests/parse-events.c: In function 'test_event': tests/parse-events.c:1696: error: missing initializer tests/parse-events.c:1696: error: (near initialization for 'err.str') Reported-by: Kim Phillips Signed-off-by: Jiri Olsa Tested-by: Kim Phillips Cc: Alexander Shishkin Cc: David Ahern Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: Hendrik Brueckner Cc: Martin Schwidefsky Cc: Namhyung Kim Cc: Peter Zijlstra Cc: Thomas Richter Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180611093422.1005-1-jolsa@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

perf test session topology: Fix test on s390

2018-08-24T11:06:50Z

[ Upstream commit b930e62ecd362843002bdf84c2940439822af321 ] On s390 this test case fails because the socket identifiction numbers assigned to the CPU are higher than the CPU identification numbers. F/ix this by adding the platform architecture into the perf data header flag information. This helps identifiing the test platform and handles s390 specifics in process_cpu_topology().

perf test: "Session topology" dumps core on s390

2018-05-30T14:43:58Z

The "perf test Session topology" entry fails with core dump on s390. The root cause is a NULL pointer dereference in function check_cpu_topology() line 76 (or line 82 without -v). The session->header.env.cpu variable is NULL because on s390 function process_cpu_topology() returns with error: socket_id number is too big. You may need to upgrade the perf tool. and releases the env.cpu variable via zfree() and sets it to NULL. Here is the gdb output: (gdb) n 76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i, (gdb) n Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00000000010f4d9e in check_cpu_topology (path=0x3ffffffd6c8 "/tmp/perf-test-J6CHMa", map=0x14a1740) at tests/topology.c:76 76 pr_debug("CPU %d, core %d, socket %d\n", i, (gdb) Make sure the env.cpu variable is not used when its NULL.

perf test: "probe libc's inet_pton" fails on s390 due to missing inline

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.

perf test: Adapt test case record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh for s390

2018-04-23T14:04:37Z

perf test case 58 (record+probe_libc_inet_pton.sh) executed on s390x using kernel 4.16.0rc3 displays this result: # perf trace --no-syscalls -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ ping -6 -c 1 ::1 probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448) __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) gaih_inet (inlined) __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined) main (/usr/bin/ping) __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) _start (/usr/bin/ping) After I installed kernel 4.16.0 the same tests uses commands: # perf record -e probe_libc:inet_pton/call-graph=dwarf/ -o /tmp/perf.data.abc ping -6 -c 1 ::1 # perf script -i /tmp/perf.data.abc and displays: ping 39048 [006] 84230.381198: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448) 140448 __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) fbde1 gaih_inet (inlined) fe2b9 __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined) 398d main (/usr/bin/ping) Nothing else changed including glibc elfutils and other libraries picked up by the build.

I bisected missing __libc_start_main and _start to commit Fixes: 3d20c6246690 ("perf unwind: Unwind with libdw doesn't take symfs into account") When I undo this commit I get this call stack on s390: [root@s35lp76 perf]# ./perf script -i /tmp/perf.data.abc ping 39048 [006] 84230.381198: probe_libc:inet_pton: (3ffa0240448) 140448 __GI___inet_pton (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) fbde1 gaih_inet (inlined) fe2b9 __GI_getaddrinfo (inlined) 398d main (/usr/bin/ping) 22fbd __libc_start_main (/usr/lib64/libc-2.26.so) 457b _start (/usr/bin/ping) Looks like dwarf functions dwfl_xxx create different call back stack trace when using file /usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/ping-20161105-7.fc27.s390x.debug instead of file /usr/bin/ping. Fix this test case on s390 and do not expect any call back stack entry after the main() function. Also be more robust and accept a leading __GI_ prefix in front of getaddrinfo.

perf test BPF: Fixup BPF test using epoll_pwait syscall function probe

2018-04-18T18:35:53Z

Since e145242ea0df ("syscalls/core, syscalls/x86: Clean up syscall stub naming convention") changed the main syscall function for 'epoll_pwait' to something other than the expected 'SyS_epoll_pwait the' 'perf test BPF' entries started failing, fix it by using something called from the main syscall function instead, 'epoll_wait', which should keep this test working in older kernels too.
