selftests/perf_events: Add a mmap() correctness test

2025-08-15T10:17:04Z

commit 084d2ac4030c5919e85bba1f4af26e33491469cb upstream. Exercise various mmap(), munmap() and mremap() invocations, which might cause a perf buffer mapping to be split or truncated. To avoid hard coding the perf event and having dependencies on architectures and configuration options, scan through event types in sysfs and try to open them. On success, try to mmap() and if that succeeds try to mmap() the AUX buffer. In case that no AUX buffer supporting event is found, only test the base buffer mapping. If no mappable event is found or permissions are not sufficient, skip the tests. Reserve a PROT_NONE region for both rb and aux tests to allow testing the case where mremap unmaps beyond the end of a mapped VMA to prevent it from unmapping unrelated mappings.

selftests/perf_events: Test FASYNC with watermark wakeups

2024-04-14T20:26:33Z

The test uses PERF_RECORD_SWITCH records to fill the ring buffer and trigger the watermark wakeup, which in turn should trigger an IO signal. Signed-off-by: Kyle Huey Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240413141618.4160-4-khuey@kylehuey.com

selftests: perf_events: Fix incorrect kernel headers search path

2023-02-13T16:09:45Z

Use $(KHDR_INCLUDES) as lookup path for kernel headers. This prevents building against kernel headers from the build environment in scenarios where kernel headers are installed into a specific output directory (O=...).

selftests/perf_events: Add kselftest for process-wide sigtrap handling

2021-04-16T14:32:42Z

Add a kselftest for testing process-wide perf events with synchronous SIGTRAP on events (using breakpoints). In particular, we want to test that changes to the event propagate to all children, and the SIGTRAPs are in fact synchronously sent to the thread where the event occurred. Note: The "signal_stress" test case is also added later in the series to perf tool's built-in tests. The test here is more elaborate in that respect, which on one hand avoids bloating the perf tool unnecessarily, but we also benefit from structured tests with TAP-compliant output that the kselftest framework provides.
