perf tests switch-tracking: Fix timestamp comparison

2025-06-19T13:40:22Z

[ Upstream commit 628e124404b3db5e10e17228e680a2999018ab33 ] The test might fail on the Arm64 platform with the error: # perf test -vvv "Track with sched_switch" Missing sched_switch events # The issue is caused by incorrect handling of timestamp comparisons. The comparison result, a signed 64-bit value, was being directly cast to an int, leading to incorrect sorting for sched events. The case does not fail everytime, usually I can trigger the failure after run 20 ~ 30 times: # while true; do perf test "Track with sched_switch"; done 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : FAILED! 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : FAILED! 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok 106: Track with sched_switch : Ok I used cross compiler to build Perf tool on my host machine and tested on Debian / Juno board.

perf tests metric-only perf stat: Fix tests 84 and 86 s390

2025-06-19T13:40:17Z

tracing/timers: Rename the hrtimer_init event to hrtimer_setup

2025-04-05T08:30:17Z

The function hrtimer_init() doesn't exist anymore. It was replaced by hrtimer_setup(). Thus, rename the hrtimer_init trace event to hrtimer_setup to keep it consistent.

perf bpf-filter: Fix a parsing error with comma

2025-03-25T00:29:58Z

The previous change to support cgroup filters introduced a bug that pathname can include commas. It confused the lexer to treat an item and the trailing comma as a single token. And it resulted in a parse error: $ sudo perf record -e cycles:P --filter 'period > 0, ip > 64' -- true perf_bpf_filter: Error: Unexpected item: 0, perf_bpf_filter: syntax error, unexpected BFT_ERROR, expecting BFT_NUM Usage: perf record [] [] or: perf record [] -- [] --filter event filter It should get "0" and "," separately. An easiest fix would be to remove "," from the possible pathname characters. As it's for cgroup names, probably ok to assume it won't have commas in the pathname. I found that the existing BPF filtering test didn't have any complex filter condition with commas. Let's update the group filter test which is supposed to test filter combinations like this.
